Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.

Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Dreadful experiences raise the question whether he who experiences them, is not something dreadful also.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
