"Every deep thinker is more afraid of..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The poison by which the weaker nature is destroyed is strengthening to the strong individual and he does not call it poison.”

“Every man in creating the beautiful appearance of the dream worlds is a perfect artist.”

“Out of a brotherly love we occasionally embrace this or that somebody (because we cannot embrace everybody): but we must never letour somebody know it.”

“But merely accepting authoritarian truth, even if that truth has some virtue, does not bring skepticism to an end. To blindly accept a truth one has never reflected upon retards the advance of reason. Our world rots in deceit. . . . Just as a tree bears the same fruit year after year and at the same time fruit that is new each year, so must all permanently valuable ideas be continually created anew in thought. But our age pretends to make a sterile tree bear fruit by tying fruits of truth onto its branches.”

“Everything has been thought of before, but the problem is to think of it again.”

“Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.”

“It gave a tremendous level of self-confidence, that through exploration and learning one could understand seemingly very complex things in one's environment.”

“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”

“Neither a work of nature nor one of art we get to know when they have been finished; we must surprise them in the process of beingcreated so as to understand them to some degree.”
