"I tell you: one must have chaos in one, to give birth to a dancing star."
"Write with blood: and you will discover that blood is spirit."
"He who writes in blood...does not want to be read, he want to be learned by heart."
"My brother, if you are lucky you will have one virtue and no more: thus you will go more easily over the bridge.
To have many virtues is to be distinguished, but it is a hard fate; and many a man has gone into the desert and killed himself because he was tired of being a battle and battleground of virtues...
"Behold how each of your virtues desires the highest place: it wants your entire spirit, that your spirit many be ITS herald, it wants your entire strength in anger, hate, and love.
Every virtue is jealous of the others, and jealousy is a terrible thing...
He whom the flames of jealousy surround at last turns his poisoned sting against himself, like the scorpion."
"...courage wants to laugh."
"He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary.
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior."
