Checking in...........................

.......................with Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche:

 In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

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.

Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.

Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.

Love is blind. Friendship closes its eyes.

Without forgetting it is quite impossible to live at all.

To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.

Love, too, has to be learned.
