Beyond Good and Evil
- Woman learns how to hate in proportion as she—for-
gets how to charm. - The same emotions are in man and woman, but in dif-
ferent TEMPO, on that account man and woman never
cease to misunderstand each other. - In the background of all their personal vanity, women
themselves have still their impersonal scorn—for ‘woman”. - FETTERED HEART, FREE SPIRIT—When one firmly
fetters one’s heart and keeps it prisoner, one can allow one’s
spirit many liberties: I said this once before But people do
not believe it when I say so, unless they know it already. - One begins to distrust very clever persons when they
become embarrassed. - Dreadful experiences raise the question whether he who
experiences them is not something dreadful also. - Heavy, melancholy men turn lighter, and come tempo-
rarily to their surface, precisely by that which makes others
heavy—by hatred and love. - So cold, so icy, that one burns one’s finger at the touch of
him! Every hand that lays hold of him shrinks back!—And
for that very reason many think him red-hot.
