"Whoever is related to me in the..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“All philosophy is a form of confession.”

“The best belongs to me and mine; and if we are not given it, we take it: the best food, the purest sky, the most robust thoughts, the fairest women!”

“It is the evening that questions thus from within me.”

“Not judginess, but openness and curiosity are our proper business. I'm still trying to educate myself. I don't think you need to keep rehearsing your instincts. Far better to seek out models of what you can't do.”

“Learn from the people. Plan with the people. Begin with what they have. Build on what they know.”

“The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we've run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don't like needful moments and therefore we resist them.”

“No country and no people can be free and ignorant at the same time.”

“I feel quite sure that what the American people lack is knowledge.”

“Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct; it acknowledges no limits to its projects. Reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another.”
