"A married philosopher is a comic character...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to "happiness" as "goal").”

“Early in the morning, at break of day, in all the freshness and dawn of one's strength, to read a book -I call that vicious!”

“Of all evil I deem you capable: Therefore I want good from you. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.”

“There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.”

“Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.”

“We want our marriage to be a triumph, not a tragedy.”

“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are of the nature rather of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”

“it is harder to be philosophical when you are young.”

“I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.”
