"There are many good inventions on earth, some useful, some pleasing; for their sake, the earth is to be loved. And there is such a variety of well-invented things that the earth is like the breasts of a woman: useful as well as pleasing."

Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Third Part, "On Old and New Tablets" (12, section 17)
