“The philosopher is lacking who interprets the deed and does not merely transpose it.”

“But the thought is one thing, the deed is another, and another yet is the image of the deed. The wheel of causality does not roll between them.”

“He who is punished is never he who performed the deed. He is always the scapegoat.”

“...For action has no sense. It merely binds one to existence. All existence, however, has no sense. Evil is interpreted as that which leads to irrationalism: to the affirmation of means whose end is denied. A road to nonentity is the desideratum, hence all emotional impulses are regarded with horror.”

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

“There are no facts, only interpretations.”

“Interpreting myself, I always readMyself into my books. I clearly needSome help. But all who climb on their own wayCarry my image, too, into the breaking day.”
