"The disappointed one speaks. I searched for..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Only he who is man enough will release the woman in woman.”

“What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.”

“The world is a work of art that gives birth to itself.”

“If I extend an empty hand and in retrieving it and finding it still empty, I feel disappointment, that is foolishness; yet if I extend a hand which is full and yet find no one to receive it, then that is hopelessness.”

“But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can't eat, and home the very place you can't live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.”

“If two men who were friends in their youth meet again when they are old, after being separated for a life-time, the chief feeling they will have at the sight of each other will be one of complete disappointment at life as a whole; because their thoughts will be carried back to that earlier time when life seemed so fair as it lay spread out before them in the rosy light of dawn, promised so much — and then performed so little.”

“There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.”

“You know that he who would be the greatest among you must become the servant of all.”

“Only a handful of men and women leave an imprint on the conscience of a nation and on the history that they helped shape.”
