Friedrich Nietzsche

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either.

The desire to annoy no one, to harm no one, can equally well be the sign of a just as of an anxious disposition.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
