I am almost equal to a shadow.

When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.

We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.

This world is the will to power and nothing besides!

Here one must think profoundly to the very basis and resist all sentimental weakness: life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, conquest of the strange and weak, suppression, severity, obtrusion of peculiar forms, incorporation, and at the least, putting it mildest, exploitation - but why should one for ever use precisely these words on which for ages a disparaging purpose has been stamped?

If we have injured someone, giving him the opportunity to make a joke about us is often enough to provide him personal satisfaction, or even to win his good will.

As soon as we are shown the existence of something old in a new thing, we are pacified.
