"From whatever you wish to know and..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear; he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.”

“As soon as we are shown the existence of something old in a new thing, we are pacified.”

“Remain faithful to the earth, my brothers, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth. Thus I beg and beseech you. Do not let them fly away from earthly things and beat with their wings against eternal walls. Alas, there has always been so much virtue that has flown away. Lead back to the earth the virtue that flew away, as I do—back to the body, back to life, that it may give the earth a meaning, a human meaning.”

“It's a funny old world.”

“The higher the mountain on which you stand, the less change in the prospect from year to year, from age to age. Above a certain height there is no change.”

“Accent the ugly until it becomes gorgeous.”

“Poetry implies the whole truth. Philosophy expresses a particle of it.”

“Again, the great number of cultivated men keep each other up to a high standard. The habit of meeting well-read and knowing men teaches the art of omission and selection.”

“People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.”
