He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you battle monsters, you don't always become a monster. But you aren't entirely human anymore, either.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
Life is just a short period of time in which you are alive.
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
There's monsters in all of us, but there's also vulnerability.
We create monsters and then we can't control them.
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.
Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
