What is the greatest thing ye can experience? It is the hour of great contempt. The hour in which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so also your reason and virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people--but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The good displeases us when we are not up to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever, at any time, has undertaken to build a new heaven has found the strength for it in his own hell.
