Friedrich Nietzsche

In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence and loathing seizes him.

Mystical explanations are thought to be deep the truth is that they are not even shallow.

There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.

It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.

All truth is simple… is that not doubly a lie?

Not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, does the enlightened man dislike to wade into its waters.
