Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.

There are no limits to God's compassion with Paradises over their one universally felt want: he immediately created other animals besides. God's first blunder: Man didn't find the animals amusing, - he dominated them and didn't even want to be an 'animal.'

Without the errors involved in the assumptions of ethics, man would have remained an animal. Thus has he taken himself as something higher and imposed rigid laws upon himself.

One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.

I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?

The genius-in work and in deed-is necessarily a squanderer: the fact that he spends himself constitutes his greatness.
