More on Morality
“There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.”
“I am always reading immoral books on the sly, and then selfishly trying to prevent other people from having the same wicked good time.”
“Everything we do has a result. But that which is right and prudent does not always lead to good, nor the contrary to what is bad.”
More on Individualism
“From the State the exceptional individual cannot expect much. He is seldom benefited by being taken into its service; the only certain advantage it can give him is complete independence. Only real culture will prevent him being too early tired out or used up, and will spare him the exhausting struggle against culture-philistinism.”
“Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine. It seeks to show new perspectives and other choices. It is a way to help expand and liberate the consciousness; our experiences, understandings, imaginings, options and thereby our lives.”
“One's days were too brief to take the burden of another's errors on one's shoulders. Each man lived his own life and paid his own price for living it.”
