"Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom -such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it -those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature. He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself: he will never get to drink the strongest refreshing draught from his own innermost fountain.”

“Ten truths must you find during the day; otherwise will you seek truth during the night, and your soul will have been hungry.”

“Every man who has declared that some other man is an ass or a scoundrel, gets angry when the other man conclusively shows that the assertion was erroneous.”

“Heaven often protects valuable souls charged with great secrets, great ideas, by long shutting them up with their own thoughts.”

“Those great efforts of intellect, upon which the mind sometimes touches, are such that it cannot maintain itself there. It only leaps to them, not as upon a throne, forever, but merely for an instant.”

“If you think along the lines of Nature then you think properly." from the video "Carl Jung speaks about death”

“Sometimes my feet are tired and my hands are quiet, but there is no quiet in my heart.”

“When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.”

“People often say to me, 'I understand what you are talking about intellectually, but I don't really feel it, I don't realize it,' and I am apt to reply, 'I wonder whether you do understand it intellectually, because if you did you would also feel it.'”
