I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
There are no facts, only interpretations.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings – always darker, emptier and simpler.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‘Ego’.
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
