"Mystical explanations are thought to be deep;..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

“One should adpot only those situations in which one is in no need of sham virtues, but rather, like the tight-rope dancer on his tight rope, in which one must either fall or stand--or escape.”

“Giving style” to one’s character - a great and rare art! It is exercised by those who see all the strengths and weaknesses of their own natures and then comprehend them in an artistic plan until everything appears as art and reason and even weakness delights the eye.”

“'Twas but my tongue, 'twas not my soul that swore.”

“A statement is persuasive and credible either because it is directly self-evident or because it appears to be proved from other statements that are so.”

“If I am true to myself, if I am true to mankind, if I am true to humanity, I must understand all the faults that human flesh is heir to.”

“What sort of philosophers are we, who know absolutely nothing of the origin and destiny of cats?”

“What can be explained is not poetry.”

“but perhaps we should love what we cannot understand”
