"Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life."

"One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too."

"The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment."

"Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?"

"Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes."

"It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book."
