Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Love is blind friendship closes its eyes.

Love is blind friendship closes its eyes.

Summary

This quote suggests that love often overlooks or ignores flaws in the people we care about, while true friendship sees and accepts these flaws. Love can cloud our judgment and make us blind to the shortcomings of our loved ones, whereas friendship allows us to see and appreciate them as they truly are, imperfections and all. While love is passionate and intense, friendship is grounded in acceptance and understanding.

Can you see the holiness in those things you take for grante

Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted--a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.

After all, the world is not a stage -- not to me: nor a thea

After all, the world is not a stage -- not to me: nor a theatre: nor a show-house of any sort. And art, especially novels, are not little theatres where the reader sits aloft and watches... and sighs, commiserates, condones and smiles. That's what you want a book to be: because it leaves you so safe and superior, with your two-dollar ticket to the show. And that's what my books are not and never will be. Whoever reads me will be in the thick of the scrimmage, and if he doesn't like it -- if he wants a safe seat in the audience -- let him read someone else.
