Start

Finally, after a long long time i got time to do what i like the best in office. Read quotes on internet. Last week I bought "Thus spake Zarathustra, Nietzsche" (Though haven't turned a single page as yet). KT, finally I am going to read what u have been suggesting for a very long time. Lets hope I get time to do it.

Well, today suddenly i was reminded of the book and decided on reading quotes by him. Must say, his quotes are not just powerful, they simply stir you, churn you, make you feel something inside your belly. Very few people I have read have struck at just the right spot.

Some of the favourites....

1. A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith doesnot prove anything.
2. Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
3. No price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself. (Somehow, this reminds me of something going on in my mind for sometime now)
4. Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself. (I think I ll like reading him)
5. There is always some madness in love. But there is also some reason in the madness.
6. The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.
7. The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has left the world, ugly and bad. (So true, even with other religions)
8. I would not know, what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more than to be a good dancer.

I guess I ll have to start the book soon.

Thanks for the quotes. I like them as well, but a whole book seems too heavy for me to read...Anyways I get to existential...so reading such books is not adviseable ;)
