"We are so fond of being out..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“One should adpot only those situations in which one is in no need of sham virtues, but rather, like the tight-rope dancer on his tight rope, in which one must either fall or stand--or escape.”

“Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.”

“But eternal liveliness is what counts: what does "eternal life" matter, or life at all?”

“Experience, the interpreter between creative nature and the human race, teaches the action of nature among mortals: how under the constraint of necessity she cannot act otherwise than as reason, who steers her helm, teaches her to act.”

““It is not everyone,” said Elinor, “who has your passion for dead leaves.””

“One had a lovely face,And two or three had charm,But charm and face were in vain.Because the mountain grassCannot keep the formWhere the mountain hare has lain.”

“India is one vast prison with high walls of suppression clothing her mind and her body.”

“No longer must government be allowed to ride roughshod, absorbing the people's wealth, usurping their rights, and crushing their spirit.”

“There are those, of course, who claim we must give up freedom in exchange for economic progress. Well, pardon me, but anyone trying to sell you that line is no better than a three-card-trick man. One thing becoming more clear every day is that freedom and progress go hand in hand. Throughout the developing world, people are rejecting socialism because they see that it doesn't empower people, it impoverishes them.”
