Additional quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Our institutions are no good any more: on that there is universal agreement. However, it is not their fault but ours. Once we have lost all the instincts out of which institutions grow, we lose institutions altogether because we are no longer good for them.

Some cannot loosen their own chains and can nonetheless redeem their friends.

Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
