More From Friedrich Nietzsche

The aphorism, the apothegm, in which i am the first among the germans to be a master, are the forms of “eternity”; it is my ambition to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book — what everyone else does not say in a book.
Book Ambition Doe
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.
Bible Book Men
I have an ambition to live 300 years. i will not live 300 years. maybe i will live one year more. but i have the ambition. why you will not have ambition? why? have the greatest ambition possible. you want to be immortal? fight to be immortal. do it. you want to make the most fantastic art or movie? try. if you fail, is not important. we need to try.
Art Ambition Fighting
You need just the right amount of ambition . . . if you have too little ambition, you don't push or work hard. if you have too much ambition, you put yourself ahead of others, elbow them out of your way.
Hard Work Ambition Needs
The burning of a book is a sad, sad sight, for even though a book is nothing but ink and paper, it feels as if the ideas contained in the book are disappearing as the pages turn to ashes and the cover and binding--which is the term for the stitching and glue that holds the pages together--blacken and curl as the flames do their wicked work. when someone is burning a book, they are showing utter contempt for all of the thinking that produced its ideas, all of the labor that went into its words and sentences, and all of the trouble that befell the author . . .
Book Sadness Thinking
That's one of the many things about having the bookstore that i adore. i can walk into the store and say to somebody, "i'm glad you're reading this book" or "i'm glad you're getting this book" or "don't get that book. i read that book and hated that book. let's get you this book instead."

When i was 35 i realized that i was still thinking a lot about what it would be like to go to narnia. to really go - not just in a daydream, or in a children's book, but what it would actually feel like, physically, psychologically, every other way. the idea was haunting me.
Children Book Thinking
If i were rich i would have many books, and i would pamper myself with bindings bright to the eye and soft to the touch, paper generously opaque, and type such as men designed when printing was very young. i would dress my gods in leather and gold, and burn candles of worship before them at night, and string their names like beads on a string.
