Truth, Perspective, And Nietzsche
I'm not afraid.
Did you really want to fight over something?
It's really nothing, it doesn't matter.
Do you really want to scar my heart with words that hurt me?
Don't hurt me.
I don't really want to cry over issues.
Wet tissues stick to my shoes.
22) Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive.
37) Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.
43) Faith: not wanting to know what is true.
45) Fear is the mother of morality.
59) I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
80) It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
99) Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
100) Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.
113) Perhaps I know why it is man alone who laughs: He alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
117) Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day.
125) If one is something one really does not need to make anything. ("You've got it made/What does 'got it made' mean, anyway?/You don't make anything")
150) This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.
161) We have art in order not to die of the truth.
179) Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'.
182) Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.
"You didn't have to be so nice, I would've loved you anyway."
