Friedrich Nietzsche
Some men have sighed over the abduction of their wives, but many more have sighed because no one wanted to abduct theirs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When the gratitude that many owe to one discards all modesty, then there is fame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: frenzy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many it is almost a vice.
