"Full is the earth of the superfluous;..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The gilded sheath of pity sometimes covers the dagger of envy.”

“The purpose of criminal law is to punish the enemies of those in power.”

“Every word has its fragrance: there is a harmony and a disharmony of fragrances, and hence of words.”

“Now is all you ever have. There never is anything else. So, you might as well make the now your friend. Otherwise, you are out of alignment with life itself.”

“Part of the pleasure of being alive is the knowledge that you're not dead yet.”

“In every man's memory, with the hours when life culminated are usually associated certain books which met his views.”

“Men of high learning and abilities are few in every country; and by taking in those who are not so, the able part of the body have their hands tied by the unable.”

“To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it.

I would rather be a teacher at a school (and I can think of nothing worse) than marry a man I did not like.”

“... our purpose in founding our state was not to promote the happiness of a single class, but, so far as possible, of the whole community. Our idea was that we were most likely to justice in such a community, and so be able to decide the question we are trying to answer. We are therefore at the moment trying to construct what we think is a happy community by securing the happiness not of a select minority, but of a whole.”
