  • None of you knows what creativity means. To paint a picture, to write a poem? No! To recast one’s whole age, to impose upon it the stamp of one’s will, to fill it with beauty, to overwhelm it, to overpower it with one’s spirit.
    • cited in Zarathustra’s Children (2000), p. 178
  • Weil, so schließt er messerscharf
    Nicht sein kann, was nicht sein darf.
    • For, he reasons pointedly
      That which must not, can not be.
      • „Die unmögliche Tatsache” “The Impossible Fact” (1910)
