Fierce Quote by Anonymous
“I like the Cyclostyle ink; it is so inky. I do not think there is anyone who takes quite such a fierce pleasure in things being themselves as I do. The startling wetness of water excites and intoxicates me: the fieriness of fire, the steeliness of steel, the unutterable muddiness of mud. It is just the same with people… When we call a man "manly" or a woman "womanly" we touch the deepest philosophy.”
