"It is nobler to declare oneself wrong..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“I love those who do not know how to live for today.”

“Wherever primitive man put up a word, he believed he had made a discovery. How utterly mistaken he really was! He had touched a problem, and while supposing he had solved it, he had created and obstacle to its solution. Now, with every new knowledge we stumble over flint-like and petrified words and, in so doing, break a leg sooner than a word.”

“For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.”

“I'm just a simple country girl.”

“Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.”

“Only those beneath me can envy or hate me. I have never been envied nor hated; I am above no one. Only those above me can praise or belittle me. I have never been praised nor belittled; I am below no one.”

“Not every love, but only that which has a noble purpose, is noble and worthy of praise.”

“To live as one likes is plebian the noble man aspires to order and law.”

“Art is in itself noble; that is why the artist has no fear of what is common. This, indeed, is already ennobled when he takes it up.”
