Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. - Friedrich Nietzsche

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

"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."

"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage"

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

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