Tonks:

Thanks for the Nietzsche quote. I like this idea and I think it 
could fit in with the idea of an ancient magic that is greater than 
good or evil.  LV says there is no good or evil only power and those 
too afraid to use it.  Maybe he is right up to a point. But 
the "power" that he thinks is the ultimate power is not. The Power 
that is beyond good and evil is indeed Love.
