Friedrich Nietzsche
My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud, it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day bear lightnings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ultimately, no one can extract from things, books included, more than he already knows.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself lying to others is relatively the exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You are treading the path to your greatness: no one shall follow you here! Your passage has effaced the path behind you, and above that path stands written: Impossibility.
Friedrich Nietzsche
