Friedrich Nietzsche
You want to make him interested in you? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence-
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who create are hard of heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People to whom their daily life appears too empty and monotonous easily grow religious this is comprehensible and excusable, only they have no right to demand religious sentiments from those whose daily life is not empty and monotonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
