"A friend whose hopes we cannot satisfy..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Physician, help yourself: thus help your patient too. Let this be his best help: that he may behold with his eyes the man who heals himself.”

“There's no defense against stupidity.”

“Writers ought to be regarded as wrongdoers who deserve to be acquitted or pardoned only in the rarest cases: that would be a way to keep books from getting out of hand.”

“It's all love or sex these days. Friendship is almost as quaint and outdated a notion as chastity. Soon friends will be like the elves and the pixies - fabulous mythical creatures from a distant past.”

“Some dire misfortune to portend, no enemy can match a friend.”

“Friendship? Yes Please.”

“Men who marry for gratification, propagation or the matter of buttons or socks, must expect to cope with and deal in a certain amount of quibble, subterfuge, concealments, and double, deep-dyed prevarication.”

“Instead of creating expectations of what should or should not be happening, cooperate with the form that this moment takes.Bring a 'yes' to the isness, because it's pointless to argue if it already is.A greater intelligence is available to you when you no longer reject, deny, or 'don't want' what is.”

“I never expected anything to be given to me.”
