If a man has character, he has also his typical experience,... - Friedrich Nietzsche

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

"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."

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

"Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes."

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