“Why are we not satisfied when life mirrors itself peacefully in a deep lake? …How seldom do we now meet a person who can keep living so peacefully and cheerfully with himself even amidst the turmoil, saying to himself like Goethe: ‘The best is the deep quiet in which I live and grow against the world, and harvest what they cannot take from me by fire or sword.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“Lonely now and miserably self-distrustful, I took sides, not without resentment, against myself and for everything that hurt me and was hard to me.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“That the other suffers has to be learned; and it can never be learned fully.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“Marriage as a long conversation. - When marrying you should ask yourself this question: do you believe you are going to enjoy talking with this woman into your old age? Everything else in a marriage is transitory, but most of the time that you're together will be devoted to conversation.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
