"Praise is more obtrusive than a reproach...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“We laugh at a man who, stepping out of his room at the very minute when the sun is rising, says, “It is my will that the sun shall rise”; or at him who, unable to stop a wheel, says, “I wish it to roll”; or, again, at him who, thrown in a wrestling match, says, “Here I lie, but here I wish to lie.” But, joking apart, do we not act like one of these three persons whenever we use the expression “I wish”?”

“Without the errors involved in the assumptions of ethics, man would have remained an animal. Thus has he taken himself as something higher and imposed rigid laws upon himself.”

“And he who must be a creator in good and evil: verily, he must be an annihilator first and demolish values.”

“There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years, but this is the first time its been a compliment to me.”

“Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.”

“To praise great actions is in some sense to share them.”

“A critic is a man who writes about things he doesn't like.”

“This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.”

“Whatever the needs of the public are, the government responds to those needs by getting larger.”
