The golden fleece of self-sufficiency guards against cudgel- blows but not against pin-pricks.
Friedrich NietzscheOne has been a poor spectator of life if one has not witnessed the hand - that kills from mercy.
Friedrich NietzscheA good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.
Friedrich NietzscheHe who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
