And so while dreams are the individual man's play with reality, the sculptor's art is (in a broader sense) the play with dreams.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The gilded sheath of pity sometimes covers the dagger of envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That which does not destroy, strengthens.
