Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever possesses abundant joy must be a good man: but he is probably not the cleverest man, although he achieves exactly what it is that the cleverest man strives with all his cleverness to achieve.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
