Friedrich Nietzsche

The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.

One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

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