Plato was a bore. - Friedrich Nietzsche

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

"Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive."

"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."

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

"Without music, life would be a mistake."
