"No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse."

"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star."

"But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!"

"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, how much pain, how much torture it endures and knows how to transform to its advantage."

"The more abstract the truth you want to teach, the more you must seduce the senses to it."
