"Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“No one talks more passionately about his rights than he who in the depths of his soul doubts whether he has any. By enlisting passion on his side he wants to stifle his reason and its doubts: thus he will acquire a good conscience and with it success among his fellow men.”

“One must know how to conserve oneself- the best test of independence.”

“No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.”

“It is by his activities and not by enjoyment that man feels he is alive. In idleness we not only feel that life is fleeting, but we also feel lifeless.”

“Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard.”

“Don't leave a 'good time' to chance. Experiences have to be woven with care and planning, like a tapestry.”

“The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.”

“A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.”

“Truly, it is a blessing and not a blasphemy when I teach that "above all things there stands the heaven of chance, the heaven of innocence, the heaven of accident, the heaven of wantonness".”
