"Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The strongest knowledge (that of the total freedom of the human will) is nonetheless the poorest in successes: for it always has the strongest opponent, human vanity.”

“Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit asecond one--and then we do too little.”

“I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.”

“One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.”

“Love is just a word, but you bring it definition.”

“Love is a simple practice yet it is very beneficial for the individual who practices it as well as for the community in which he lives, for the nation, and for the whole world”

“As a child, my number one best friend was the librarian in my grade school. I actually believed all those books belonged to her.”

“In middle school, my friends decided I was weird, and they didn’t like my hair. They ditched me and talked behind my back, which is cool — I’m over it. [laughs] One time I called them and said, “Hey, do you want to go to the Berkshire Mall?” They all gave me excuses and said no. So I go to the mall with my mom, and don’t you know, we run into all of them. Together. Shopping. My mom could see I was about to cry, so she said, “You know what? We’re going to the King of Prussia mall,” which was the mecca.”

“If you visit your friend, why need you apologize for not having visited him, and waste his time and deface your own act? Visit him now.”
