"The will to overcome an emotion, is..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Genuine historical knowledge requires nobility of character, a profound understanding of human existence - not detachment and objectivity.”

“Because men really respect only that which was founded of old and has developed slowly, he who wants to live on after his death must take care not only of his posterity but even more of his past.”

“The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer.”

“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

“Man is free at the instant he wants to be.”

“Strength and strength's will are the supreme ethic. All else are dreams from hospital beds, the sly, crawling goodness of sneaking souls.”

“Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one center of pain.”

“All thoughts start from emotions.”

“The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly.”
