Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes:

Ocupation: Philologist

Life: October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900

Birthday: October 15

Death: August 25

We think that play and fairytales belong to childhood - how shortsighted that is! As though we would want at any time in our life to live without play and fairytales! We give these things other names, to be sure, and feel differently about them, but precisely this is the evidence that they are the same things, for the child too regards play as his work and fairy tales as his truth. The brevity of life ought to preserve us from a pedantic division of life into different stages - as though each brought something new.
