The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind
German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history.
Man is the cruelest animal
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth
The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living
Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom
The heart is like a musical instrument of many strings, all the chords of which require putting in harmony
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance
