Reason is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie. – Friedrich Nietzsche
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night. – Friedrich Nietzsche
Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly. – Friedrich Nietzsche
