We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value.
From Friedrich Nietzsche

Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Existence really is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present.
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
Success has always been a great liar.
