Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not enough to prove something, one has also to seduce or elevate people to it. That is why the man of knowledge should learn how to speak his wisdom: and often in such a way that it sounds like folly!

It is not enough to prove something, one has also to seduce

Summary

This quote suggests that simply presenting facts and evidence is not sufficient to convince others of an idea or belief. In order to truly influence people, a knowledgeable individual must not only provide reasons and evidence but also engage and inspire others to embrace what they have to say. The quote emphasizes the importance of effective communication, even if it means presenting wisdom in a way that may initially sound foolish to capture the attention and curiosity of others.

From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Everything in moderation. I know that's really hard for people to understand, but I grew up in an Italian family where we didn't overdo anything. We ate pasta, yes, but not a lot of it.
