Friedrich Nietzsche
A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some men have sighed over the abduction of their wives, but many more have sighed because no one wanted to abduct theirs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women want to serve, and this is where their happiness lies: but the free spirit does not want to be served, and this is where hishappiness lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If a woman seeks education it is probably because her sexual apparatus is malfunctioning.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings: what is closest appears large and weighty, and as one moves farther away size and weight decrease.

if we possess a why of life we can put up with almost any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche
