It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that make... - Friedrich Nietzsche

"For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication."

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

"Without music, life would be a mistake."

"The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity."

"We have art in order not to die of the truth."
