"Life is an instinct for growth, for..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fair-mindedness, and gentleness with what is strange.”

“Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.”

“In song and dance, man forgets how to walk and speak and is on the way into flying into the air, dancing... his very gestures express enchantment.”

“A man of supreme folly: his life flies away while he is merely hoping to enjoy it.”

“Blood is a juice of rarest quality.[Ger., Blut ist ein ganz beondrer Saft.]”

“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.”

“The moles nested in my cellar, nibbling every third potato, and making a snug bed even there of some hair left after plastering and of brown paper; for even the wildest animals love comfort and warmth as well as man, and they survive the winter only because they are so careful to secure them.”

“Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.”

“Who you are and what you know when you are born is everything that you need to know to thrive. You are born with a sense of self and a sense of wanting self to feel good and the mechanisms to bring it about.”
