"And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche

I know, Nietzsche was a bit of a freak, but I like the quote for some reason.
For some reason You are amongst the three people that I suspect would post Nietzsche. I have no idea why... The Others Strangely are Dogscoff and Puke.

Then Agin I'm about to Quote some Churchill, so I can't really talk Just trying to find one short enough, a great man for speeches but long winded at times

"If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."
But Nietzsche produces such great quotes! Twilight of the Idols, for example.

#1 -- Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Should psychology be a vice?
(Footnote by the translator, Walter Kaufman, explains that there is a German proverb: Idleness is the beginning of all vices.)

#3 -- To live alone one must be a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both -- a philosopher.

#8 -- Out of life's school of war: What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.

His early work is not so famous, but equally interesting.

from Human, All Too Human

#87 -- Luke 18:14 improved "He that humbleth himself wants to be exalted."

#499 -- Friend. -- Fellow rejoicing [Mitfreude], not fellow suffering [Mitleiden], makes the friend.

#536 -- Value of tasteless opponents -- Sometimes one stays faithful to a cause only becaus its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
