To give birth to a dancing star, one must first have chaos within. Inconsistency, changes of mind and urges to wander were a duty. A fixed opinion was a dead opinion, a made-up mind was a dead mind, worth less than an insect; it should be crushed underfoot and utterly destroyed.

أريادني Ariadne جانت حبيبة بطل يوناني إسمه Theseus. بوقتها لما ثيسيوس قرر يدخل متاهة الـ minotaur ويقتله، هي ساعدته وانطته سيف وخيط ذهبي حتى يستخدمه كدليل وما يضيع بالمتاهة.

الحياةُ ليست بسيطة. إنْ تجرأ أحدٌ يومًا وشيّدَ بناءًا هندسيًا يماثلُ في تصميمِه طبيعةَ الروحِ البشرية، فإنّ مثلَ هكذا بناء سوف يستنِد على تصميمِ المتاهةِ نموذجًا له. لكي يَلِدَ المَرءُ نجمًا راقصًا، لا بدَّ له أولًا أنْ يمتلكَ بداخلهِ مِن الفوضى ما يلزم لذلك. التناقضُ وتقلّبُ الآراءِ والرغبةُ المُلحّة بالتجوال هن فرائضُ واجبة. الرأيُ الثابت هو رأيٌ ميت، والعقلُ الذي مِلؤُه يَقين هو عقلٌ ميت، لا يساوي قيمةَ حشرة؛ يجبُ أنْ تُسحَق تحت القدم وتُدَمّر تمامًا.

My ambition is to say in ten sentences what other people say in a book – what other people do not say in a book.

To greatness belongs dreadfulness: let no one be deceived about that.

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Seen from the outside, Nietzsche’s life during 1886 and 1887 looks quiet and harmless but it was during this time that, with all the fury of the neglected prophet, he was examining the foundations of our moral and intellectual traditions and taking a hammer to them in the books of his mature philosophy.

[The modern man has] no external enemies or obstacles but rips himself apart, persecutes himself, gnaws at himself, gives himself no peace, he is like an animal who batters himself raw on the bars of his cage.

- On The Genealogy Of Morality.

إنسانُ العصرِ الحالي ليس له أعداءٌ أو عَقبات خارجية، لكنّك تَراه مع ذلك يُمَزِّقُ ذاتَه لأشلاء ويَضطَهِد نَفسَه ويَنخُرُ في ذاتَه ولا يَمنَحها الراحة. هو في حالتِه هذه مثلَ حيوانٍ محبوسٍ يَضرِبُ نفسَه بشدّةٍ وبلا هوادة وهو يَدفَع جسدَه على جدرانِ قفصه.

"How do you feel about breasts, do they frighten you?"

This is a genius line considering that Fry is gay😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He talked about his isolation and he quoted the words of Ovid that were engraved on Descartes’s tomb, ‘Bene vixit qui bene latuit’ (‘He lived well who hid well’).

When he came across a young Irish girl making studies of wild flowers, he advised her to put something ugly into the picture. The beauty of the flowers would be emphasised by the contrast. A few days later he captured a toad, and put it in his trouser pocket. He brought it to the artist, very pleased with himself. She retaliated by catching some grasshoppers and putting them in a bonbon jar. She knew that he was very fond of sweets. When he unscrewed the lid, out they jumped. The intimate circle of summer tourists deemed this an excellent exchange of practical jokes.
