Friedrich Nietzsche

Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience. ”

Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had. ”

Existence really is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present. ”

Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless. ”

There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life; their Christianity, for instance. ”

The lie is a condition of life. ”

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves? ”

Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves? ”

Art is the proper task of life. ”

Without music, life would be a mistake. ”
