Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love. - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes."

"It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!"

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."

"Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter."

"Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?"
