“What is good? To be brave is good. It is the good war that hollows every cause.”

“Therefore I wait here, cunning and scournful upon high mountains, not impatient, not patient, on the contrary one who has unlearned even patience, because he no longer ‘suffers in patience’.”

“I fear you when you are near, I love you when you are far, your fleeing allures me, your seeking secures me: I suffer, but for you what would I not gladly endure!”

“Behold, we know what you teach: that all things recur eternally and we ourselves with them, and that we have already existed an infinite number of times before and all things with us.”

oh how i love this. it’s reassuring and beautiful to know that we have already existed before and will continually doing so. we are infinite.

“And truly, to learn to love oneself is no commandment for today or for tomorrow. Rather is this art the finest, subtlest, ultimate, and most patient of all.”

“In order to see much one must learn to look away from oneself.”

“It is my poverty that my hand never rests from giving; it is my envy that I see my expectant eyed and illumined nights of desire.”

“That they speak well of life, these poison spiders, although they sit in their caves and with their backs turned on life, is because they want to do harm by speaking well of life.”

“They want to scratch out the eyes of their enemies with their virtue; and they raise themselves only in order to lower others.”

“Their knees are always worshiping and their hands are glorifications of virtue, but their heart knows nothing of it.”

“But you yourself will always be the worst enemy you can encounter.”

“You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”
