"Mothers easily become jealous of their sons'..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The disappointed one speaks. I searched for great human beings; I always found only the apes of their ideals.”

“Denn was ist Freiheit? Dasz man den Willen zur Selbstverantwortlichkeit hat.”

“The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.”

“When teachers or people in authority put me down or in one way or another tried to make me feel less than equal to what they thought I should be - my mother was on my side. It was amazing.”

“It had never occurred to him that the body of a woman of fifty, blown up to monstrous dimensions by childbearing, then hardened, roughened by work til it was coarse in the grain like an overripe turnip, could be beautiful. But is was so, and after all, he thought, why not?”

“Everyone carries within himself an image of womanliness derived from his mother: it is this that determines whether, on the whole,he will revere women, or despise them, or remain generally indifferent to them.”

“The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.”

“Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.”

“The jealousy that arises from another's achievement is overcome by developing an awareness of and admiration for one's own and other's achievement.”
