Friedrich Nietzsche
Immature is the love of the youth, and immature his hatred of man and earth. His mind and the wings of his spirit are still tied down and heavy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Assuming that rapture is nature's play with man, the Dionysian artist's creative activity is the play with rapture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A heart full of courage and cheerfulness needs a little danger from time to time, or the world gets unbearable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
New ways I go, a new speech comes to me weary I grow, like all creators, of the old tongues. My spirit no longer wants to walk on worn soles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?
Friedrich Nietzsche
