Friedrich Nietzsche

Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless.

The lie is a condition of life.

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

There are people who want to make men’s lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life their Christianity, for instance.

Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms – in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

Art is the proper task of life.

Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

Without music, life would be a mistake.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
