What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man. – Friedrich Nietzsche
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time. – Friedrich Nietzsche
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication. – Friedrich Nietzsche
