Friedrich Nietzsche

He who laughs best today, will also laughs last.

Success has always been a great liar.

In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?

The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

Woman was God's second mistake.

Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
