My step grandmother was headmistress of an elite private boys boarding
school. She told me this about destruction It isn't possible to create
without changing something, to simply draw a circle on a piece of paper you
change it, destroying a blank piece of paper to change it into a picture of
a circle. Change and destruction are intertwined. During the process of
creation destruction happens naturally. The urge to destroy is a creative
one, the urge to change what exists and create something new.
