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

"Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied."

"There are no facts, only interpretations."

"Plus d'un qui n'a pu liberer ses propres chaines a su pourtant en liberer son ami."

"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."
