A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!
For broad understanding and deep feeling, you need pain and suffering.
I want to suffer and be purified by suffering!
Put away your gods and come and worship ours, or we will kill you and your gods!
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.
