Greatest

Famous quotes containing the word greatest:

Of private experience at its greatest intensity
Becoming universal, which we call “poetry,”

“For believe me!—the secret to harvesting the greatest abundance and the greatest enjoyment from existence is this—living dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors, so long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you knowing ones! The time will soon be past when you could be content to live hidden in the forests like timid deer.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Where do your greatest dangers lie?—In pity.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
