“If life has treated a man like a brigand, and has taken from him all it could in the way of honours, friends, adherents, health, possessions of all kinds, he may perhaps, after the first shock, discover that he is richer than before. For it is only now that he knows what is truly his, what no brigand is able to get his hands on; so that he perhaps emerges out of all this plundering and confusion wearing the noble aspect of a great landed proprietor.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Assorted Opinions and Maxims, 343

“Belief and doubt are not two forms of knowledge… for neither of them is a cognitive act; they are opposite passions. Belief is a sense for becoming, and doubt is a protest against any conclusion that goes beyond immediate sensation and knowledge.”
