The closer we come to the danger, the more brightly do the ways into the saving power begin to shine and the more questioningly we become.

“During the longest period of human past, nothing was more terrible than to feel that one stood by oneself. To be alone and experience things by oneself, neither to obey nor to rule, was not a pleasure, but a punishment. One was sentenced to ‘individuality,’ and freedom of thought was considered discomfort itself.”

—The Gay Science, §117 (edited excerpt).

“An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn’t exist, for the artist doesn’t live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist.”
