I made a cardboard box. The lid is Buddhist stuff: an image, and symbols for The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold Path. Wrapping around the center of the box is a longish chunk of very radical text from section 10 of the "Why I am so Clever" chapter from Nietzsche's Ecce Homo, maybe my favorite bit of text ever. If you care to read it, the full passage is at the bottom of the page.

	Friedrich Nietzsche From Section 10 of "Why I am so Clever" of Ecce Homo (1888) One will ask me why on earth I've been relating all these small things which are generally considered matters of complete indifference: I only harm myself, the more so if I am destined to represent great tasks. Answer: these small things -- nutrition, place climate, recreation, the whole casuistry of selfishness -- are inconceivably more important than everything one has taken to be important so far. Precisely here one must begin to relearn. What mankind has so far considered seriously have not even been realities but mere imaginings -- more strictly speaking, lies prompted by the bad instincts of sick natures that were harmful in the most profound sense -- all these concepts, "God," "soul," "virtue," "sin," "beyond," "truth," "eternal life." -- But the greatness of human nature, its "divinity," was sought in them. -- All the problems of politics, of social organization, and of education have been falsified through and through because one mistook the most harmful men for great men -- because one learned to despise "little" things, which means the basic concerns of life itself.
