"And this do I call immaculate perception..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“We criticize a man or a book most sharply when we sketch out their ideal.”

“For the purpose of knowledge we must know how to make use of the inward current which draws us towards a thing, and also of the current which after a time draws us away from it.”

“Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.”

“Thinking is a sacred disease and sight is deceptive.”

“There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.”

“A man of fine perceptions is more truly feminine than a merely sentimental woman.”

“The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.”

“There is no necessity for the man who means to be an orator to understand what is really just but only what would appear so to the majority of those who will give judgment; and not what is really good or beautiful but whatever will appear so; because persuasion comes from that and not from the truth.”

“To the extent math refers to reality, we are not certain to the extent we are certain, math does not refer to reality.”
