"We have art so that we shall..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“When we cannot stand certain people, we try to have suspicions about them.”

“The highest type of free men should be sought where the highest resistance is constantly overcome: five steps from tyranny, close to the threshold of the danger of servitude.”

“Everyone thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.”

“Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.”

“Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art.”

“Nature has made a pebble and a female. The lapidary makes the diamond, and the lover makes the woman.”

“The realest people don’t have a lot of friends.”

“I treated Art as the supreme reality and life as a mere mode of fiction.”

“All cats look gray in the dark.”
