She felt dazed and cold. She felt numb all over—not only her hands, but her brain. Then suddenly, as she bent to warm her hands over the fire words floated together in her mind and made one intelligible sentence.

Nietzsche for the Signs

Aries: "Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?"

Taurus: "From which stars have we fallen to meet each other here?"

Gemini: "She has the power to both possess and shatter my entire universe, that is all."

Cancer: "We like to be out in nature so much because it has no opinion about us."

Leo: "You know a moment is important when it is making your mind go numb with beauty."

Virgo: "Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best of yourself."

Libra: "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."

Scorpio: "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."

Sagittarius: "You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."

Capricorn: "Call me whatever you like; I am who I must be."

Aquarius: "But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Pisces: "People think that the world itself is overflowing with beauty, but they forget that they are its cause."
