The quote "And if your hardness will not glance and cut and chip to pieces, how can ye one day--create with me?For the creators are hard.

Entirely hard is only the noblest." inside the booklet are taken from the 29th entry of LVI. Old and New Tables in Friedrich Nietzsche's book Thus Spoke Zarathustra .
