Side/decline

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or decline:

“Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love’s tragedies.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Considered physiologically, everything ugly weakens and saddens man. It reminds him of decay, danger, impotence; it actually reduces his strength. The effect of ugliness can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever anyone feels depressed, he senses the proximity of something “ugly.” His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride—they decline with ugliness, they rise with beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
