"How can anyone become a thinker unless..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The will to overcome an emotion, is ultimately only the will of another, or of several other, emotions.”

“You shall not steal! You shall not kill! Such words were once called holy; before them people bowrd their knees and heads, and removed their shoes. But I ask you: where have there ever been better thieves and killers in the world than such holy words have been? Is there not in all of life itself - robbing and killing? And when such words were called holy, was not truth itself thereby - killed?”

“There are the terrible ones who carry about in themselves the beast of prey, and have no choice except lusts or self-laceration. And even their lusts are self-laceration.”

“When you awaken spiritually, in fact, you can use thought much more effectively than before, but you realize there is a depth to your Being, a vibrantly alive stillness that is much vaster than thought. It is consciousness itself, of which the thinking mind is only a tiny aspect.”

“To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.”

“A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.”

“As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.”

“The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is one of self-discovery. To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”

“To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition.”
