The higher man is distinguished from the lower by his fearlessness and his readiness to challenge misfortune. - Friedrich Nietzsche

The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. ‘Behold, just now the world became perfect!’ — thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Man’s disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it.

Cynicism is the only form in which base souls approach honesty.

Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.
