When Nietzsche Wept

Friedrich Nietzsche

Medalists dont grow on trees. You have to nurture them. With love, with hard work, with passion.

— If he took care of you when you were little, wky do you hate him? What did he do to you?
— Your dad, raised me. He made me who I am. Now, you ask why if I hate him. Well, it's hard to hate the person who made you what you are. You just end up hating yourself. The truth is I would like to hate your dad, I really would. It would make things a lot easier. But, you can't hate someone who you loved for so long.

If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

— My dad is a Taekwondo grandmaster. Coached me growing up. He always used to say: "Only you can beat you".
— Well, my mom is a lounge singer, and she used to say: "Upstage me and I'll beat your ass".

The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Erziehst du dir einen Raben, wird er dir die Augen ausgraben.

Meaningful Quotes

[The monsters] prey on only the most evil humans of our society; domestic abusers, serial killers, congressmen...the dirtier the blood the more he craves it. And you? You are completely and utterly inconsequential. Contrary to depictions in movies and books, monsters don't prey on boring children. Real monsters, prey on real monsters...as long as you never become a monster, you never have to fear monsters. Just remember: you completely and utterly do not matter.

Meaningful Quotes

A mother and a daughter. What a terrible combination of feelings and confusion and destruction. Everything is possible and is done in the name of love and solicitude. The mother's injuries are to be handed down to the daughter. The mother's failures are to be paid for by the daughter. The mother's unhappiness is to be the daughter's unhappiness. It's as if the umbilical cord had never been cut. Is it so? Is the daughter's misfortune the mother's triumph? Is my grief your secret pleasure?
