the voice of beauty speaks softly; it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls

We ought to learn from the kine one thing: ruminating.

All mankind is divided, as it was at all times and is still, into slaves and freemen.

I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.

And nobody lies as much as the indignant do.

Either one does not dream, or one does so interestingly. One should learn to spend one's waking life in the same way: not at all, or interestingly.

Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity.
