👱👉 Let’s be honest what doesn’t kill you, actually leaves you
crippled.
👱👉 That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
👱👉 I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that
from now on I can’t believe you.
👱👉 And those who were seen dancing were thought to be
insane by those who could not hear the music.
👱👉 It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without
also remembering my reasons for them!
👱👉 There is always some madness in love. But there is
also always some reason in madness.
👱👉 Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in
the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an
abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
👱👉 You have your way. I have my way. As for the right
way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
👱👉 In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
👱👉 God dead but considering the state of the species man is in,
there will perhaps be caves, for ages yet, in which his shadow will be shown.
👱👉 Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth
because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.
👱👉 There are no facts, only interpretations.
👱👉 We should consider every day lost on which we have
not danced at least once.
👱👉 The man of knowledge must be able not only to love
his enemies but also to hate his friends.
👱👉 I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised
all the time.
👱👉 No one can construct for you the bridge upon which
precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone.
👱👉 When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we
conquered long ago.
👱👉 The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys
several times the same good things for the first time.
👱👉 Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if
you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
👱👉 Man is the cruelest animal.
👱👉 The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct
him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think
differently.
👱👉 Is man merely a mistake of God’s? Or God merely a
mistake of man?
👱👉 Every deep thinker is more afraid of being
understood than of being misunderstood.
👱👉 Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings — always
darker, emptier and simpler.
👱👉 Faith: not wanting to know what the truth is.
👱👉 The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those
who cannot fly.
👱👉 There are two different types of people in the
world, those who want to know, and those who want to believe.
👱👉 He who has a why to live for can bear almost
any how.
👱👉 All truly great thoughts are conceived while
walking.
👱👉 All things are subject to interpretation.
Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and
not truth.
👱👉 In truth,there was only one christian and he died
on the cross.
👱👉 That which is done out of love is always beyond
good and evil.
👱👉 All I need is a sheet of paper and something to
write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.
👱👉 Silence is worse; all truths that are kept silent
become poisonous.
👱👉 What does your conscience say? — ‘You should
become the person you are’.
👱👉 Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves
and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a
slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a
scholar.
👱👉 Without music, life would be a mistake.
👱👉 After coming into contact with a religious man I
always feel I must wash my hands.
👱👉 Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired,
that we love.
👱👉 The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to
others.
👱👉 The most perfidious way of harming a cause
consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.
👱👉 Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because
it prolongs the torments of man.
👱👉 One repays a teacher badly if one always remains
nothing but a pupil.
👱👉 Talking much about oneself can also be a means to
conceal oneself.
👱👉 It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what
others say in a whole book.
👱👉 A Casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith
does not prove anything.
👱👉 Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than
the passion of resentment.
👱👉 Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than
lies.
👱👉 What is the seal of liberation? Not to be ashamed
in front of oneself.
👱👉 The author must keep his mouth shut when his work
starts to speak.
👱👉 Love is blind. Friendship closes its eyes.
👱👉 Two great European narcotics, alcohol and
Christianity.
👱👉 I am one thing, my writings are another.
👱👉 Without forgetting it is quite impossible to live
at all.
👱👉 One must be a sea, to receive a polluted stream
without becoming impure.
👱👉 Plato was a bore.
👱👉 Woman was God’s second mistake.
👱👉 What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.
👱👉 He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at
all tragedies, real or imaginary.
👱👉 A thought comes when it will, not when I will.
👱👉 The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.
As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease
to be mind.
👱👉 The true man wants two things: danger and play.
For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.
👱👉 There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible
depth.
👱👉 Invisible threads are the strongest ties.
👱👉 Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who
laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
👱👉 Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called
‘Ego’.
👱👉 Remorse.– Never yield to remorse, but at once tell
yourself: remorse would simply mean adding to the first act of stupidity a
second.
