However far man may extend himself with his knowledge, however objective he may appear to himself - ultimately he reaps nothing but his own biography.

It is our needs that interpret the world; our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule; each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all other drives to accept as a norm.

Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.

Against that positivism which stops at phenomena, saying 'there are only facts,' I would say: No, it is precisely facts that do not exist, only interpretations.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

In the end one only experiences oneself.
