"Only as an aesthetic product can the..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“And he who must be a creator in good and evil: verily, he must be an annihilator first and demolish values.”

“We talk about taking "pleasure in a thing": but in truth it is pleasure in ourselves, mediated by a thing.”

“Those with very loud voices in their throats are nearly incapable of thinking subtle thoughts.”

“A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.”

“The beautiful has but one type, the ugly has a thousand.”

“Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.”

“The world is weary of hate. We see the fatigue overcoming the Western nations.”

“Your world is all these elements. Of light and sound, of taste, smell, and touch, woven together in many dimensions on the fabulous loom of your brain. Your brain; the most complicated thing in the world, which you yourself grew...without even thinking about it.”

“The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.”
