An important species of pleasure, and therewith the source of morality, arises out of habit.

To have and to want more that is life.

A thing can only live through a pious illusion.

What we experience in dreams - assuming that we experience it often - belongs in the end just as much to the over-all economy of our soul as anything experienced "actually": we are richer or poorer on account of it.

We seldom break a leg as long as we are climbing wearily upwards in our lives, instead we do it when we start going easy on ourselves and choosing the comfortable paths.

Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.

How good music and bad reasons sound when one marches against an enemy.
