When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel Of Obsession

by Irvin D. Yalom

this hour has been too short. I am greedy and desire more of your time.

That the enemies of truth are not lies, but convictions!

“Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings—always darker, emptier and simpler.”

Don’t argue: you will lose, and even if you win, you lose.

I now believe that fears are not born of darkness; rather, fears are like the stars—always there, but obscured by the glare of daylight.

“‘More in love with desire than with the desired!’”

life is a spark between two identical voids, the darkness before birth and the one after death.”
