We Are Franker Towards Others Than Towards

The Significance Of Language For The Evolution Of Culture Lies In This, That Mankind Set Up In Language A Separate World Beside The Other World, A Place It Took To Be So Firmly Set That, Standing Upon It, It Could Lift The Rest Of The World Off Its Hinges And Make Itself Master Of It. To The Extent That Man Has For Long Ages Believed In The Concepts And Names Of Things As In Aeternae Veritates He Has Appropriated To Himself That Pride By Which He Raised Himself Above The Animal: He Really Thought That In Language He Possessed Knowledge Of The World.

It Is, Indeed, A Fact That, In The Midst Of Society And Sociability Every Evil Inclination Has To Place Itself Under Such Great Restraint, Don So Many Masks, Lay Itself So Often On The Procrustean Bed Of Virtue, That One Could Well Speak Of A Martyrdom Of The Evil Man. In Solitude All This Falls Away. He Who Is Evil Is At His Most Evil In Solitude: Which Is Where He Is At His Best - And Thus To The Eye Of Him Who Sees Everywhere Only A Spectacle Also At His Most Beautiful.

One Should Not Wish To Enjoy Where One Does Not Give Joy.

Without Passions You Have No Experience Whatever.
