Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.

Friedrich Nietzsche
There was at all events one advantage in the choice of this day to my birth my birthday throughout the whole of my childhood was a day of public rejoicing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But let me open up my heart to you completely, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear not being a god! Hence, there areno gods. I drew this conclusion, to be sure--but now it draws me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you buy the why, the how is infinitely bearable
