The transition from Religion to Scientific contemplation is a violent, dangerous leap, which is not to be recommended. In order to make this transition, art is far rather to be employed to relieve the mind overburdened with emotions. Out of the illogical comes much good. It is so firmly rooted in the passions, in language, in art, in religion, and generally in everything which gives value to life. It is only the naive people who can believe that the nature of man can be changed into a purely logical one. We have yet to learn that others can suffer, and this can never be completely learned.
Friedrich NietzscheWe have no dreams at all or interesting ones. We should learn to be awake the same way- not at all or in an interesting manner
Friedrich NietzschePhlegmatic natures can be inspired to enthusiasm only by being made into fanatics.
Friedrich NietzscheThis crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.
