"Experience, as a desire for experience, does..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.”

“You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.”

“The end of a melody is not its goal; but nonetheless, if the melody had not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.”

“Scars are wisdom in disguise.”

“Life cannot be lived, and understood, simultaneously.”

“I'm glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again.”

“True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.”

“One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you're not.”

“I drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe. I am quite sincere about some of the things which people take very lightly, and almost insultingly unconcerned about some of the things which people take most seriously. In short, I am basically antisocial: certainly not to an alarming degree , but just more so than I appear to be.”
