The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction…Their joy is self-conquest: asceticism becomes in them nature, need, and instinct. Difficult tasks are a privilege to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. Knowledge-a form of asceticism. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest.
Did you ever say yes to pleasure? Then you also said yes to pain. All things are linked, entwined, in love with one another.
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame. How could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?
There are spirits all around us, every moment of our life wants to say something to us, but we refuse to listen to these spirit-voices. We are afraid that when we are alone and quiet something will be whispered into our ear, and so we-hate quietness and deafen ourselves with sociability.
