Man, a hybrid of plant and ghost.

Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.

Man, however, is the most courageous animal: thereby has he overcome every animal. With sound of triumph has he overcome every pain; human pain, however, is the sorest pain.

Never trust a thought that didn't come by walking.

No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.

The will to truth is merely the longing for a stable world.

In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.
