That&#8217;s basically all the meaning there is behind this piece. As far as how the brushing up is going, It&#8217;s mostly just spending a lot of time reading. Even so, I\u00a0actually got to give German tourists here in Montreal directions today, in German. \u00a0I feel pretty stoked about that. The German in this sketch is the first bit of a well-known quote from Nietszche: &#8220;<strong><span style=\"color: #545454;\">Wer mit Ungeheuern k\u00e4mpft<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #545454;\"><strong>, mag zusehn<\/strong>, da\u00df er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird.&#8221; Or, in English, if you fight with monsters, take care that you do not become a monster.

I&#8217;ll be working on the next bit of the quote when I get a chance, but this one&#8217;s the taster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/my-sketchbook.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4229\" src=\"http:\/\/greynotgrey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/my-sketchbook.jpg\" alt=\"Ian Rogers sketchbook June 2014\" width=\"4608\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been brushing up on my German, and I like owls.
