“A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Let us not underestimate the privileges of the mediocre. As one climbs higher, life becomes ever harder; the coldness increases, responsibility increases.”
“Out of damp and gloomy days, out of solitude, out of loveless words directed at us, conclusions grow up in us like fungus: one morning they are there, we know not how, and they gaze upon us, morose and gray. Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him.”
“What someone is, begins to be revealed when his talent abates, when he stops showing us what he can do.”
“And let that day be lost to us on which we did not dance once! And let that wisdom be false to us that brought no laughter with it!”
“The thousand mysteries around us would not trouble but interest us, if only we had cheerful, healthy hearts.”
“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking”
