...An actual thread about proverbs? I love proverbs, and so does Nietzseche! He wrote pages and pages of them, literally.
"The vanity of others offends our taste only when it offends our vanity."
"Ultimately one loves one's desires, not that which is desired."
"Objection, evasion, happy distrust, pleasure in mockery are all signs of good health; everything unconditional belongs in pathology."
"The sense of the tragic increases and diminishes with sensuality."
"In revenge and in love, woman is more barbarous than man."
"The great epochs in our life are those moments when we gain the courage to rebaptize our most evil qualities as our best qualities."
