“Mit Singen, Weinen, Lachen und Brummen lobe ich den Gott, der mein Gott ist.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Also sprach Zarathustra

“Self-control might be as passionate and as active as the surrender to passion...”

“Wanting to sound like other people has its temptations. There are inherited habits of speech guaranteed to make us sound authoritative, intelligent, worldly, appropriately grateful, or deeply moved.”
― Alain de Botton, How Proust Can Change Your Life

“The hatred of your country is not because it attacks theirs; it is because it keeps theirs safe. Never seek popularity. You can have supremacy or be loved but never both. What is felt toward you is ten percent genuine disagreement and ninety percent envy. Never forget two things! No man can ever forgive his protector. There is no loathing that any man harbors more intense than that toward his benefactor.”
― Frederick Forsyth, Avenger
