"It is only possible through the fact..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.”

“Most of the time in married life is taken up by talk.”

“Every virtue has its privilege: for example, that of contributing its own little bundle of wood to the funeral pyre of one condemned.”

“Through the centuries, we faced down death by daring to hope.”

“Humanity happy, I get benefit. Humanity in state of trouble, or violence, I cannot escape from that.”

“The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.”

“The more conscious I was of goodness and of all that was 'sublime and beautiful,'the more deeply I sank into my mire and the more ready I was to sink in it altogether.”

“The cramped monotony of my existence grinds me away by the grain.”

“Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.”
