Think "existentialism", and you cannot get away from the name of Friedrich Nietzsche. This great German philosopher of the nineteenth century has written prolifically on a wide variety of subjects. Begin with some Friedrich Nietzsche quotes if you want to understand some of his ideas.
- Joy
Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!
- Determination
He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
- Ambition
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
- Music
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
- Business
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
- Ability
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
- Life
Without music, life would be a mistake.
