Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.

Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.

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

The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else!

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.
