Friedrich Nietzsche

“Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness”

“The imagination of the good artist or thinker produces continuously good, mediocre or bad things, but his judgment, trained and sharpened to a fine point, rejects, selects, connects […] All great artists and thinkers are great workers, indefatigable not only in inventing, but also in rejecting, sifting, transforming, ordering.”

““Eternal recurrence”: A sense of contentment with one’s life and an acceptance of it, such that one could live exactly the same life, in all its minute details, over and over for all eternity.”

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”

“We have art in order not to die of the truth.”

“Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.”

“A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.”

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
