CHAPTER III
42/58

Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump: you may be freeing him from being a camel.

Do not go about as a demagogue, encouraging triangles to break out of the prison of their three sides.

If a triangle breaks out of its three sides, its life comes to a lamentable end.

This is certainly the case with all artistic creation, which is in some ways the most decisive example of pure will.
