"Close beside my knowledge lies my black..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“When we dream about those who are long since forgotten or dead, it is a sign that we have undergone a radical transformation and that the ground on which we live has been completely dug up: then the dead rise up, and our antiquity becomes modernity.”

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

“Denn was ist Freiheit? Dasz man den Willen zur Selbstverantwortlichkeit hat.”

“To inquisitive minds like yours and mine the reflection that the quantity of human knowledge bears no proportion to the quantity of human ignorance must be in one view rather pleasing, viz., that though we are to live forever we may be continually amused and delighted with learning something new.”

“The written word may be man's greatest invention. It allows us to converse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn.”

“Trust not my reading, nor my observations, Which with experimental seal do warrant The tenor of my book.”

“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.”

“Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.”

“In friendship, as in love, we are often happier through our ignorance than our knowledge.”
