Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone... - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."

"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star."

"The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends."

"You may lie with your mouth, but with the mouth you make as you do so you none the less tell the truth."

"A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love."
