In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.

Pity aims just as little at the pleasure of others as malice at the pain of others Per-Se.

Man alone resists the direction of gravitation: he constantly wants to fall--upwards.

Aphorisms should be peaks - and those who are addressed, tall and lofty. The air thin and pure, danger near, and the spirit full of gay sarcasm: these go well together.

Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.

You shall become the person you are.
