Those things for which we find words, are things we have already overcome.

One must renounce the bad taste of wishing to agree with many people.

Giving style” to one’s character - a great and rare art! It is exercised by those who see all the strengths and weaknesses of their own natures and then comprehend them in an artistic plan until everything appears as art and reason and even weakness delights the eye.

The state lies in all languages of good and evil; and whatever it says, it lies-and whatever it has, it has stolen.

When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet. This morality is by no means self-evident. Christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. By breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in God, one breaks the whole. It stands or falls with faith in God.

"This - is now my way - where is yours"? Thus did I answer those who asked me "the way". For the way - it does not exist!

All good things were formerly bad things; every original sin has turned into an original virtue.
