destruction, n.All

Tokyo has been destroyed and rebuilt on average, from 1608 to 1945, once every five years.

Destruction is that alone through which creation can take place.

Destruction is often the thoughtless act of a single day whereas building is the slow and laborious task of years.

Destruction is never complete in a thing until it is replaced.

Destruction is a primal joy. To knock a thing down, especially if it is cocked at an arrogant angle, is a deep delight of the blood.

Destruction is that alone, in accordance with the divine wisdom, through which genesis can take place.

Destruction is easier than governing. With enough leverage, a finger could overturn the world... but to support the world, one must have the shoulders of hercules.

Destruction is marked by a kind of pleasure. Right or wrong, it's very pleasant to break something from time to time.

Destruction is just as miraculous a feat as creation. In both a man sets himself above life... he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate.
