Additional quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

O man! Attend!
What does deep midnight's voice contend?
I slept my sleep,
And now awake at dreaming's end:
The world is deep,
And deeper than day can comprehend.
Deep is its woe,
Joy — deeper than heart's agony:
Woe says: Fade! Go!
But all joy wants eternity,
Wants deep, wants deep eternity.

A virtue must be our invention; it must spring out of our personal need and defence.

The familiarity of superiors embitters one, because it may not be returned.
