"Lay hold of life with both hands,..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.”

“Nothing is more odious than the majority, for it consists of a few powerful leaders, a certain number of accommodating scoundrels and submissive weaklings, and a mass of men who trot after them without thinking, or knowing their own minds.”

“Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness. I have never known men of ability to be ungrateful.”

“Here, everything is tragic through and through, and the will, that fain would shape a world according to its wish, at last can reach no greater satisfaction than the breaking of itself in dignified annulment.”

“The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.”

“One thing leads to another? Not always. Sometimes one thing leads to the same thing. Ask an addict.”

“Being excited about stuff on a daily basis, I'm so excited by it.”

“Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait.”

“If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.”
