"Can an ass be tragic?--To perish under..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Nothing ever succeeds which exuberant spirits have not helped to produce.”

“A labyrinthine man never seeks the truth, but only his Ariadne.”

“But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.”

“Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war.”

“But death was sweet, death was gentle, death was kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave them rest and forgetfulness; death was man’s best friend; when man could endure life no longer, death came and set him free.”

“Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness”

“For the weariest road that man may wendIs forth fromn the home of his father.”

“We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us.”

“If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.”
