"Love is not consolation. It is light...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Art raises its head where creeds relax.”

“We talk so abstractly about poetry because all of us are usually bad poets.”

“I love the great despisers because they are the great adorers.”

“No one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”

“Forgiveness is choosing to love.”

“Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.”

“In order to know the light, we must first experience the darkness.”

“The Brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing, and think it were not night.”

“Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.”
