“There is perhaps nothing so admirable in Christianity and Buddhism as their art of teaching even the lowest to elevate themselves by piety to a seemingly higher order of things, and thereby to retain their satisfaction with the actual world in which they find it difficult enough to live—this very difficulty being necessary.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

“There is far too much witchery and sugar in the sentiments “for others” and “NOT for myself,” for one not needing to be doubly distrustful here, and for one asking promptly: “Are they not perhaps — DECEPTIONS?” — That they PLEASE — him who has them, and him who enjoys their fruit, and also the mere spectator — that is still no argument in their FAVOUR, but just calls for caution. Let us therefore be cautious!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

“Not to cleave to any person, be it even the dearest — every person is a prison and also a recess.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

“The rightly tuned mind does not deny its emotions, but floats with them. It accepts what it feels and so incorporates that feeling to itself. Thus the mind is not subject, but rules itself.”
― Christopher Ruocchio, Howling Dark
