"Of all that is written, I love..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“We only hear questions that we are able to answer.”

“Happiness is the feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome.”

“Our knowledge will take its revenge on us, just as ignorance exacted its revenge during the Middle Ages.”

“Nulla (enim) res tantum ad dicendum proficit, quantum scriptio Nothing so much assists learning as writing down what we wish to remember.”

“I think that the idea that I'm writing for many more people than I ever imagined has created a certain general responsibility that is literary and political. There's even pride involved, in not wanting to fall short of what I did before.”

“Gonzo journalism is a style of reporting based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism.”

“But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.”

“For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.”

“Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.”
