“When a nation which has long groaned under the intolerable yoke of a tyrant rises at last and throws off its chains, do you call that weakness? The man who, to rescue his house from the flames, finds his physical strength redoubled, so that he lifts burdens with ease which in the absence of excitement he could scarcely move; he who under the rage of an insult attacks and puts to flight half a score of his enemies,—are such persons to be called weak? My good friend, if resistance be strength, how can the highest degree of resistance be a weakness?”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who
falsely believe they are free”
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
1749 – 1832”
“see how all our energies are wasted in providing for mere necessities, which gain have no further end than to prolong a wretched existence; and then that all our satisfaction concerning certain subjects of investigation ends in nothing better than a passive resignation”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I hate Wolfgang.
My first name, as spelled on my birth certificate is, Nikolaus.
That’s because my dad won the argument. I was named after my cousin in Russia, who later became a tank commander in the Soviet army. Back in that day the US gub’mint would open and read mail from Russia. Not kidding. So my cousin sends this pic of him standing on his big Russian tank with the big red star on it … and my dad was promtly visited by the authorities to explain his covert activities. No, it wasn;t the Chatham Police.
Anyway …. my mom wanted “Wolfgang”. Wolfgang Christian, to be exact. That’s fucked up. I’m glad she lost.
My middle name is Berthold. That’s pretty fucked up, too. In grade school — you know how kids are — they called me, Butthole, while bastardizing my first name to “Dick”. Dick Butthole. I kid you not.
This helped me to develop a sense of humor. Fight ‘em, or join ‘em. I had no other choice.
