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.

What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like and immorality is what they dislike.

I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret, something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out, you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
