Meandering in thought . . .

Today is the birthday of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 – August 25, 1900), philosopher.

"There are no facts, only interpretations."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"I tell you: one must have chaos within oneself, to give birth to a dancing star."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
