I could only believe in a God who could dance... And now a God dances through me.

One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.

In laughter all that is evil comes together, but is pronounced holy and absolved by its own bliss.

That which intoxicates, the sensually ecstatic, the sudden surprise, the urge to be profoundly stirred at any price -- dreadful tendencies!

I have been casting shadows all my life without caring about how deeply they stain my soul.

Alas, where is there still a sea in which one could drown: thus our lament resounds – across shallow swamps.

That which does not destroy, strengthens.
