Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

A thought comes when it will, not when I will.

A thought comes when it will, not when I will.

Summary

This quote suggests that thoughts are not something we can control or summon at will. Instead, they emerge spontaneously and uncontrollably in our minds. It highlights the unpredictable nature of thoughts and emphasizes that they arrive independently of our conscious intention. It implies that the arrival of thoughts is beyond our control and that we must be receptive to them whenever they choose to manifest in order to fully embrace the ideas they bring.
