Friedrich Nietzsche

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

“To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding; one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience; ultimately one must have one's experiences in common.”

“Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.”

“In the course of history, men come to see that iron necessity is neither iron nor necessary.”

“I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'”

“If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.”

“A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.”

“In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.”

“Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.”

“Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.”

“An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.”

“Faith: not wanting to know what is true.”

“Whoever does not have a good father should procure one.”
