Every god-man created his own god: and there is no worse enmity on earth than that between gods.

I have not the capability to give you my loyalty, nor do I have the vanity to appear as if I did.

The melancholia of everything completed!

You lack the courage to be consumed in flames and to become ashes: so you will never become new, and never young again!

Some rule out of a lust for ruling; others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.

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

Even in the lust of knowledge I feel only my will's delight in begetting and becoming; and if there be innocence in my knowledge it is because my procreative will is in it.
