“A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.”

“Men after death are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.”

“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 is a certain right by which we many deprive a man of life, but none by which we may deprive him of death; this is mere cruelty.”

“What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.”

“It is unworthy of great spirits to spread abroad the agitation they feel”

“Happiness is the feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome.”
