Friedrich Nietzsche

Like the creatures of the forest and the sea, I love To lose myself for a while.

We have to be careful that in throwing out the devil, we don't throw out the best part of ourselves.

But he who is hated by the people, as the wolf by the dogs - is the free spirit, the enemy of fetters, the non-adorer, the dweller in the woods.

Love ever your neighbour as yourselves - but first be such as love themselves.

The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity.

It is thus only this personal feeling of misery that we get rid of by acts of pity.

Deep is the well of truth and long does it take to know what has fallen into its depths.

One must separate from anything that forces one to repeat No again and again.
