Friedrich Nietzsche

"Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies."

"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star."

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

"At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid."

"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?"

"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind."

"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star."

"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."

"The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends."

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

"A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends."

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

"Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it."

"Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed."

"It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!"
