The child as a monument to the passion of two people the will to oneness in two.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.Courageous, untroubled, mocking and violent-that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Envy and jealousy are the private parts of the human soul. Perhaps the comparison can be extended.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
