Friedrich Nietzsche
One day soon you will meet a man, and he will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and it is my greatest hope that he will not give you syphilis.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not destroy, strengthens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Unexplained, obscure matters are regarded as more important than explained, clear ones.

He who recites dramatic works makes discoveries about his own character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
