"Under peaceful conditions a warlike man sets..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“When we have to change our mind about a person, we hold the inconvenience he causes us very much against him.”

“There are expressions and bulls-eyes of the spirit, there are epigrams, a little handful of words, in which a whole culture, a whole society is suddenly crystallized.”

“Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.”

“Before now poetry has taken noticeOf wars, and what are wars but politicsTransformed from chronic to acute and bloody?”

“Civil war.... What did the words mean? Was there any such thing as "foreign war"? Was not all warfare between men warfare between brothers?”

“Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names. It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.”

“... I am At war 'twixt will and will not.”

“Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.”

“The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.”
