He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Among the notable things about fire is that it also requires oxygen to burn - exactly like its enemy, life. Thereby are life and flames so often compared.
Otto Weininger
People are missing opportunities to avail themselves of treatments that could increase their sexual functioning and thereby add to their quality of life.
Constance Swank
I think such a provision would eliminate a potential basis for challenging the regulation and therefore increase the legality of the ordinance. ... However, it may also have the effect of bringing attention to the city's regulation thereby increasing the chance that the city's regulation would be challenged.
Scott Simpson
Effective prophylaxis and treatment for infections caused by biological threat agents (BTA) rely upon early diagnosis and rapid initiation of therapy. However, most methods for identifying pathogens or infectious agents in body fluids and tissues required that the pathogen proliferate to detectable and dangerous levels, thereby delaying diagnosis and treatment.
Rasha Hammamieh
In covered lagoons, which are less efficient than fixed-film anaerobic digesters, the digestive bacteria float around, making only random contact with the manure particles. In fixed-film digesters, the bacterial growth occurs on the surfaces of the internal media that the waste must flow over, thereby assuring frequent contact. In this way, higher volumes of wastewater can be processed.
Ann Wilkie
This merger would create a monopoly in those areas where cable television is not available, thereby eliminating the only competitive choice for millions of households.
Charles A. James
In a [conventional] fusion device de- signed to produce energy, the release of high-energy ions further heats the plasma, thereby sustaining the reaction. We get the same amount of energy out of the fusion reaction, but we cannot use it to sustain the reaction.
Yaron Danon
The data reflect that main concern that Mr. Greenspan has voiced in his recent comments, i.e., that with labor markets this tight, there is a real risk that compensation costs will accelerate faster than the ability of productivity gains to offset those costs, thus boosting unit labor costs and thereby generating price increases.
David Orr
He who chooses to be a master never does just enough to get by; nor does he cut corners or attempt to cheat the system. He who chooses mastery lives his life asking, 'How can I do more, give more, be more, and thereby accelerate the achievement of my ultimate destiny?'
James Arthur Ray
Instead of trapping heat in, and thereby warming the surface, this kind of has the opposite effect.
Mark Gurwell
This acquisition will enable us to move our board manufacturing closer to our customer base while increasing our presence in the United States, thereby further reducing our exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
Alain Lemaire
We are going to isolate countries where these safety issues are a concern. The stigma that Africa carries leads people to fly non-African airlines and thereby deprive our airlines of opportunities to grow and expand.
Tshepo Peege
We are proud to be teaming up with Mr. Glenn and the Glenn Foundation. Like us, Paul is dedicated to finding the molecular answers to the aging process so we can understand the mechanisms of normal aging and develop interventions to delay its onset and decline, thereby extending the healthful years of human life.
David Sinclair
Most fear stems from sin; to limit one's sins, one must assuredly limit one's fear, thereby bringing more peace to one's spirit.
Marvin Gaye
The conversion of the existing plant will provide for the retention of a skilled and experienced group of employees, thereby avoiding a plant closing and the loss of well-paid jobs in the Columbus community.
Peter Kelly
Judith Miller has provided testimony and documents to the grand jury thereby complying with the subpoenas issued to her.
Thomas Hogan
Nielsen is keeping pace with the evolving ways that people watch television, thereby ensuring that our ratings continue to be accurate and reliable. The introduction of audience estimates for DVR is a major milestone in ratings history and will provide the most detailed information ever on how and when people watch television.
Sara Erichson
We are very pleased by our results in the second-quarter. Despite the lack of hot toys that drove sales in the year-ago period, we reported strong revenue, thereby indicating the strength of our underlying core business.
John Eyler
Our unique approach to auto indexing has resulted in near-perfect accuracy among early users. With the introduction of SIRE Auto Index, the rules have changed regarding content management. It simply takes less time and effort to scan, index and validate documents, thereby boosting organizational productivity.
Kris Painter
We have a plan to reduce the county's sales tax by one percent, ... thereby reducing the cost of gas for the consumer. We (county) will have to make due with a little less and make a cut in the price of gas that will be visible to the consumer. If we have to tighten our belts a little bit then that is what we will do.
Jim Wallace
... In my opinion, the article is unjustly hard on Mr. Rove and over-the-top complimentary to me, thereby creating a too-pat contrast that is, I fell, most unfair to Mr. Rove.
John Diiulio
The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.
C. Wright Mills
E-commerce will be a central factor in future productivity growth and maintaining low inflation. E-commerce provides cost-effective, time-efficient means of transacting business and distributing goods, thereby lowering expenses and constraining inflation.
Jerry Jasinowski
Each and every one of us has one obligation, during the bewildered days of our pilgrimage here: the saving of his own soul, and secondarily and incidentally thereby affecting for good such other souls as come under our influence.
Kathleen Norris
The school has been in a lot of turmoil because of this principal, and we are looking at a process that could stretch on for months and could thereby cause a great deal of disruption in the school. We felt that the situation was just too volatile to let this happen.
David Cantor
We have been a district that looks to technology as a tool to facilitate learning and teaching. In this case, DIBELS may save our teachers time with regards to scoring and record-keeping, thereby allowing them to spend more time focusing on instruction.
Michael Gould
The idea was to encourage full-time, regular university faculty and staff to purchase primary residence homes in this community, benefit from living 'near your work' and thereby help to rebuild this old historic community. Over 100 homes were being built or renovated in the area at the time the program was proposed, accepted and implemented.
Barbara Medley
When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The court is thereby trying to placate the society that we have no manifestations of the inciting of ethnic strife or hatred.
Vadim Klyuvgant
The only Bible-honoring conclusion is, of course, that Genesis 1-11 is actual historical truth, regardless of any scientific or chronological problems thereby entailed.
Henry Morris
It is neither realistic nor desirable to round up and deport 11 million people, but the Specter proposal will exclude many undocumented [people] from ever becoming part of America's future, thereby perpetuating the problem of illegality the bill must solve.
Angela Kelley
The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified.
Bernard Of Clairvaux
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.
Henry Beston
This is a quality-of-life project where the public benefits by one, getting rid of (a) dilapidated building and, by two, increasing the value of the property, thereby increasing the tax revenue for District 87 and the city.
Todd Greenburg
The individual woman is required a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self-respect out of the wreckage of her good disposition.
Jeannette Rankin
If everybody knows what his or her duty is then we will be more beneficial to our country. Everyone should know his or her place and duty, and fulfill what he or she is obliged to do thereby.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The recent narrowing in Japan's trade surplus has come as improving domestic demand has pushed up the nation's import bills and thereby offset some of steady export gains.
Yasukazu Shimizu
We're seeing record highs across the state right now. It's primarily due to Hurricane Katrina, but previous factors like the rising cost of crude oil before this latest disaster and the fact that nation wide refineries are having things break down thereby creating less supply, were also factors.
Jeannie Chavez
For one thing, Democrats can explain that resolutions of censure have typically been reserved for ethics violations, not for meretricious statements - thereby perhaps succeeding in confusing the debate and wriggling off the hook.
Bill Kristol
The idea of the coaching convention is, first of all, to upgrade the standard of coach education in Europe and thereby further develop the quality of football in general. The second aim is to facilitate the free movement of coaches within the countries who have signed the agreement.
Andy Roxburgh
To create a draft exception would be to invite public bodies to label everything as draft and thereby prevent release. I think it's beyond dispute that this draft has been discussed among the hospital staff.
Joe Larsen
The vaccine works by producing antibodies that specifically bind to nicotine, and thereby prevent much of the nicotine from entering the brain. This process potentially reduces the pleasurable effects from smoking and reduces the addiction to nicotine.
Dorothy K. Hatsukami
We fear a circumstance in which broadband network operators, among whom consumers have no real choice, are permitted to prefer certain content and thereby limit consumer access to other content.
Paul Misener
In November, Iran's parliament voted to resume uranium enrichment if the IAEA board referred Iran to the U.N. Security Council. Now, Iran appears ready to resume enrichment work … and thereby precipitate the crisis it was presumably seeking to forestall.
Paul Leventhal
Diabetes and hypertension can scar the blood vessels that go to the kidney thereby spilling protein.
Dr Neil Bhagwandass
This state followed the federal government's lead and totally deregulated our electricity markets. If FERC accepts this settlement and thereby punishes Maine for restructuring, it will be a clear message that they have abandoned the nation's experiment with electric power sector deregulation.
Kurt Adams
When you heat or cool the crystal . . . it becomes polarized. Because the crystal is an insulator, when it becomes polarized it essentially becomes a charged capacitor. The voltage output is the charge, which is big, divided by the capacitance, which is very, very small, thereby making the voltage swing huge--over 100,000 V on the face of each crystal.
Yaron Danon
Answers are not obtained by putting the wrong question and thereby begging the real one.
Felix Frankfurter
This transaction is a positive step for both companies. The transfer of businesses to GE advances Lockheed Martin's ongoing portfolio-shaping activities and accomplishes a significant reduction in outstanding common shares, thereby enhancing shareholder value.
Vance Coffman
Our studies have shown that good house keeping practices in industries can reduce 30 percent of waste and thereby 30 percent of the cost of waste management.
Sumith Pilapitiya
We try to enter into Asian markets for the expansion of the I-mode service, and thereby try to reduce our cost by increasing the volume of procurement with local partners.
Masao Nakamura
Because a given era lacked a given body of information, we feel that its whole consciousness was naive. We can, therefore, sniff at, say, twelfth-century imagery of evil along with twelfth-century notions as to the shape of the solar system. The idea is that, having come upon information that supervenes the medieval cosmology, we can thereby dismiss all medieval notions as merely medieval.
Thomas Howard
LOOKING-GLASS, n. A vitreous plane upon which to display a fleeting show for man's disillusion given. The King of Manchuria had a magic looking-glass, whereon whoso looked saw, not his own image, but only that of the king. A certain courtier who had long enjoyed the king's favor and was thereby enriched beyond any other subject of the realm, said to the king: 'Give me, I pray, thy wonderful m.
Ambrose Bierce
We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown.
William Booth
China just wants one kind of share to supply financing, and thereby eliminate the valuation difference.
Chris Tang
The taxpayers of the city of New London are thereby subsidizing, through their tax dollars, the homeowners' collection of rents.
Mayor Beth Sabilia
What you really want to do, at least from my personal view, is add value [to your company] and be able to make a difference. I can make far more of a difference by going out and explaining to people how they can use our technology and [thereby] make their jobs easier. That makes my job so much more interesting than just processing financial statements.
Tamara Macduff
The goal of simplifying the nationality rule is to diminish the costs and thereby make the competition accessible to more challengers.
Michel Bonnefous
These (energy) price increases will put upward pressure on the cost of the producers of other items, thereby posing the risk of some impetus to core inflation.
Mark Olson
The Federal Reserve engages in a series of rate hikes at the tail end of an expansion when inflation is accelerating. What the Federal Reserve has done today is they made that less likely and thereby this expansion is more apt to go on as long as the year 2000.
