Indeed, what forces us at all to suppose that there is an essential opposition of 'true' and 'false'? Is it not sufficient to assume degrees of apparentness and, as it were, lighter and darker shadows and shades of appearance- different 'values', to use the language of painters?

Man, a hybrid of plant and ghost.

The errors of great men are venerable because they are more fruitful than the truths of little men.

Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.

The really historical performance would talk to ghosts.

If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.

Man is something that is to be surpassed.
