Many a man fails to become a thinker only because his memory is too good. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness — that means cynically and with innocence.

I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things: — then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love from henceforth!

One who cannot leave himself behind on the threshold of the moment and forget the past, who cannot stand on a single point, like a goddess of victory, without fear or giddiness, will never know what happiness is; and, worse still, will never do anything that makes others happy.
