“You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame. How could you rise anew if not first become ashes?”
“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.”
“One must give value to their existence by behaving as if one's existence was a work of art.”
“If you know the why, you can live any ow.”
“Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ego.”
“To those human beings who are of any concern to me, I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill treatment, indignities. I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self contempt. The torture of self mistrust. The wretchedness of the vanquished. I have no pity for them because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not, that one endures.”
“He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.”
“My dear friend, what is our life? A boat that swims in the sea and all one knows for certain about it is that one day, it will capsize. Here we are, two good old boats that have been faithful neighbors. And above all your hand has done it’s best to keep me from capsizing. Let us then continue our voyage, each for each other's sake, for a long time. We should miss each other so much, tolerably calm seas, good winds, and above all, sun. What I wish for myself, I wish for you, too. And I'm sorry that my gratitude can find expression only in such a wish, and has no influence at all on wind or weather.”
“What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you, ‘This life as you now live it, and have lived it, you have to live once more and innumerable times more’ What you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon that spoke thus? Or have you once experienced an experienced moment when you would have answered him, ‘You are a god and never have I ever heard anything more divine.’” - Friedrich Nietzsche
