Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Şi aceasta îmi creează, în relaţiile cu oamenii, probleme de răbdare deloc neînsemnate; umanitatea mea constă nu în a simţi cu simpatie cum anume este făcut omul, ci în a fi în stare să suport că îi simt... Umanitatea mea este o constantă depăşire a mea însumi. - Dar mie îmi e necesară singurătatea, adică vindecarea, reîntoarcerea la mine însumi, putinţa de a respira un aer liber, uşor, însufleţit. [...] Dezgustul faţă de om, faţă de "plebe", a fost întotdeauna cea mai mare primejdie pentru mine...”

Dispreţuiesc în această gândire absenţa riscului, a nebuniei şi a pasiunii. Cât de fecundă este o gândire vie, pasionată, în care lirismul circulă ca sângele în vine!”

“Existence, for me, is not merely suffering — it is a meticulous form of torture disguised as life. I move through a world that calls itself shared, yet what I carry is mine alone: a private apocalypse, constant and precise. Others ache, yes — but not like this. Not like me.”

“In fact, I sometimes think Keynes wrote his book with his tongue in his cheek. He was doubtless often surprised at the seriousness with which his colleagues took his theses. And if to all this one should remark that I am incapable of grasping the Keynesian intricacies, I would have to console myself with what an old Berlin banker said to an apprentice who was desperate because he was unable to comprehend what a client had written: "Young man, if you are not able to understand his letter, it is probably because it is not understandable.”
