I love those who do not know how to live for today.

In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it. Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty -he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world -alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.

My humanity is a constant self-overcoming.

Only individuals have a sense of responsibility.

There are two things a real man likes - danger and play; and he likes woman because she is the most dangerous of play things.

Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer, than into the dreams of a lustful woman?

He who humbles himself wants to be exalted.
