Friedrich Nietzsche

"In heaven, all the interesting people are missing."

"A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all."

"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."

"All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity."

"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."

"Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive."

"Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter."

"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?"

"Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love."

"Art is the proper task of life."

"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."

"He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."

"Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not."

"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."
