Friedrich Nietzsche
The thought of suicide is a great source of comfort: with it a calm passage is to be made across many a bad night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If all alms were given only from pity, all beggars would have starved long ago.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Denn was ist Freiheit? Dasz man den Willen zur Selbstverantwortlichkeit hat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
