• ¿Debe un hombre confiar en que merece su buena fortuna, y pensar mucho de sí mismo cuando ha vencido a una nación, o ciudad, o imperio; o da la fortuna esto también como ejemplo al vencedor de la incertidumbre de los asuntos humanos, que nunca se mantienen en una sola estancia? Porque ¿qué tiempo puede haber para que los mortales nos sintamos confiados, cuando nuestras victorias sobre otros nos obligan especialmente a temer a la fortuna, y mientras estamos exultantes, el reflejo de que el día fatal llega ahora a uno, ahora a otro, en sucesión regular, echa por tierra nuestra alegría.

• [Nietzsche's doctrine of the eternal return] is what makes moments caught up in the immanence of return suddenly appear as ends. In every other system, don't forget, these moments are viewed as means: Every moral system proclaims that "each moment of life ought to be motivated." Return unmotivates the moment and frees life of ends.

• And whereas many men, by accident unevitable, become unable to maintain themselves by their labour; they ought not to be left to the Charity of private persons; but to be provided for, (as far-forth as the necessities of Nature require,) by the Lawes of the Common-wealth. For as it is Unchariablenesse in any man, to neglect the impotent; so it is in the Soveraign of a Common-wealth, to expose them to the hazard of such uncertain Charity.

• The word 'abstract' comes from the light tower of the philosophers. One of their spotlights that they have particularly focused on 'Art'. [Abstraction was] not so much what you could paint but rather what you could not paint. You could not paint a house or a tree or a mountain. It was then that subject matter came into existence as something you ought not have.

• What peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call thought, that we must thus make it the model of the whole universe? Our partiality in our own favour does indeed present it on all occasions; but sound philosophy ought carefully to guard against so natural an illusion.

• THERE is no method of reasoning more common, and yet none more blameable, than, in philosophical disputes, to endeavour the refutation of any hypothesis, by a pretence of its dangerous consequences to religion and morality. When any opinion leads to absurdities, it is certainly false; but it is not certain that an opinion is false, because it is of dangerous consequence. Such topics, therefore, ought entirely to be forborne; as serving nothing to the discovery of truth, but only to make the person of an antagonist odious.

• La obra del pintor, del poeta o del músico, al igual que los mitos y símbolos del salvaje, debe ser vista por nosotros, si no como una forma superior de conocimiento, al menos como la más fundamental y la única realmente común a todos nosotros; el pensamiento científico no es más que la punta afilada más penetrante porque ha sido afilada en la piedra de los hechos, pero a costa de cierta pérdida de sustancia y su eficacia debe explicarse por su poder de perforar lo suficientemente profundo como para que el cuerpo principal de la herramienta siga a la cabeza.

• I ought to respect myself for my friends' sake, and my children's. It is time, at fifty-six, to begin, at least, to know oneself, - and I do know what I am not, and your regard for me has at least awakened me to believe in the possibility that I may yet make some impression with my "light" - my "dews" - my "breezes" - my bloom and freshness, - no one of which qualities has yet been perfected on the canvas of any painter in the world.

• Él [el artista] debe tener "estos poderosos órganos de expresión" -el color y el claroscuro- totalmente a su disposición, para que pueda utilizarlos de todas las formas posibles, así como para que pueda hacerlo con la más perfecta libertad; por lo tanto, ya sea que desee hacer que el tema tenga un carácter alegre, solemne o meditativo, arrojando sobre él el aspecto alegre que le confiere el sol, mediante una disposición adecuada de la sombra, o mediante las apariencias que embellecen su surgimiento o su puesta, nunca debe perderse de vista un verdadero "Efecto General".
