Book "When Nietzsche wept": quotes commented

1. "I have a reason to live and I can face any how."

When we find meaning in life bracing ourselves for the difficulties. Small failures become tolerable in the name of the great victories.

2. "Normally, this is not the question asked is important."

This shows the revelatory force of silence, the silence precisely true, since the resignation of words does not always confer legitimacy to silence.

3. "Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings: always darker, empty and simple."

Contrary to this assertion, our western society overemphasizes the intellect, reason, thinking, and underestimates the emotions, intuition, feeling.

4. "What good is a book that transports us beyond all the books?"

I wish if we read all that results in a transcendental purpose in our lives, but it must also be open to such a perspective.

5. "The important thing is the courage to be ourselves."

Take our own unique self in the face of interference and multiplicity of all the "other" is not an easy task and requires a truly courageous.

6. "Do not nobody love: love is actually the good feelings that this love produces. Love is a desire and not what you want. "

It is possible to separate the desire of the desired? The desire itself, without the unwanted, become somewhat abstract, metaphysical, emptied, and therefore unable to please?

7. "The best tree ascends to greater heights and plunges its roots deeper."

A good metaphor to highlight the proportional dimensions of the development, warning that the expansion of outward growth requires proper depth inside.

8. "These are idle thoughts ... is not a plan. "

It is apparently difficult to distinguish an idle thought of something deliberately planned. It would be a matter of content, substance and scope of planning?

9. "I dream of a love in which two people share a passion together to seek a higher truth. Perhaps his real name is friendship. "

Love, in this sense, it would be par excellence the radicalization of friendship. Would the friendship shared in all its fullness, magic and expression.

10. "Die at the right time! Live while living! Death loses its terror when it dies after consumed his life! "

If we do not do justice to his life, death can still kill us in life. Every moment lived before death must be full of life and devoid of death.
