A strong and well-constituted man digests his experiences (deeds and misdeeds all included) just as he digests his meats, even when he has some tough morsels to swallow.

Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn't.

The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it. - What does not destroy makes me stronger.

No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.

Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.

I love him who wants to create over and beyond himself and thus perishes.
