Attempting to tempt the temptress is wrong,
Trying to destroy the destroyer,
Wanting to conquer the conqueror,
Admitting to lying to the liar,
Fleeing from the coward,
Death to the dead,
And life to the living.

Have you ever tried to murder the murderer?
To kill the killer?
To maim those who maim?
Have you ever tried with impossible determination to do the impossible?
Have you ever wanted what is not there for you to have?
Have you ever stolen from the thief?
Have you ever spied on the spy?

To do these things there is something that you must be, and there is something you mustn’t. To be who you want, and do the things you want you must have something, and there is something that you mustn’t. To get what is out of reach and take what is not yours, you must do something and there is something that you mustn’t. You must be . . .
