"...the only psychologist from whom I have..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.”

“Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.”

“The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.”

“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

“When a man has just been greatly honored and has eaten a little he is the most generous.”

“A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.”

“The first step in learning is the destruction of human conceit.”

“Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.”

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”
