Art is the proper task of life. - Friedrich Nietzsche

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."

"No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone."

"We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving."

"He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying."

"I consist of body and soul - in the worlds of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children? But the enlightened, the knowledgealbe would say: I am body through and through, nothing more; and the soul is just a word for something on the body."
