Life is that which must overcome itself again and again

One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth.

A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness.

Christianity was from the beginning, essentially and fundamentally, life's nausea and disgust with life, merely concealed behind, masked by, dressed up as, faith in "another" or "better" life.

[Heraclitus had] a regal air of certainty.

Man would sooner have the Void for his purpose than be void of Purpose.

We can speak very much to the purpose and yet in such a way that the whole world cries out in contradiction: namely, when we are not speaking to the whole world.
