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.

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

He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either.

But before looking to the future, let's glance back at the road we've traveled these past two years because that is the source of much of the optimism we are all feeling about the future.

It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.

Boy, it is not fun suffering in this body of weak flesh, but Jesus is straightening out all my crooked places.
