Friedrich Nietzsche
People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O, what nowadays does science not conceal! How much, at least, it is meant to conceal!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Winter, a bad guest, sitteth with me at home blue are my hands with his friendly handshaking
Friedrich Nietzsche
Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises.
