“Masks. – There are women who, however you may search them, prove to have no content but are purely masks. The man who associates with such almost spectral, necessarily unsatisfied beings is to be commiserated with, yet it is precisely they who are able to arouse the desire of the man most strongly: he seeks for her soul – and goes on seeking.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
“And, after all, what is a lie? ‘Tis but the truth in a masquerade.” — Alexander Pope
Amazing!

I like the black backgrounds too. Perhaps it’s a depth perspective. 🙂

Were Nietzsche not a chauvinist he might have said ‘”there are men and women” . Lovely photos.

Thanks Holly. If Nietzsche had been born in a different era perhaps his phrasing would have changed. His views on women do contradict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche%27s_views_on_women

I’ll refrain from commenting further…. except to say: Friedrich Nietzsche must have had some awkward experiences… 😉 😉
