"Man does not strive for happiness; only..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“We laugh at a man who, stepping out of his room at the very minute when the sun is rising, says, “It is my will that the sun shall rise”; or at him who, unable to stop a wheel, says, “I wish it to roll”; or, again, at him who, thrown in a wrestling match, says, “Here I lie, but here I wish to lie.” But, joking apart, do we not act like one of these three persons whenever we use the expression “I wish”?”

“The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.”

“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.”

“O Lord! Unhappy is the man whom man can make unhappy.”

“All that you need in order to have total happiness, fulfillment, and love in your life you already have right now, whoever you are, wherever you are.”

“Life is nothing without friendship.”

“Self-love is the love of a man's own self, and of everything else for his own sake. It makes people idolaters to themselves, and tyrants to all the world besides.”

“The story of the human race is war. Except for brief and precarious interludes there has never been peace in the world; and long before history began murderous strife was universal and unending.”

“Man's unconscious... contains all the patterns of life and behaviour inherited from his ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed of a potential system of adapted psychic functioning.”
