The ideal world is unrealizable, it can never be realized within the real world.

Truth is revealed to man in suffering.

Any world goal, be it a "bright future", "universal happiness", "harmony", "progress" or, conversely, "Armageddon", "apocalypse" are only disembodied ideas, illusory values that have no basis within life, the movement of which is conditioned only by the inner will to power, and not by the ideals of "pure reason".

The lever of historical movements has always been the egoism of individuals, groups, and the masses.

Dostoevsky is the only psychologist from whom I could learn something; I count my acquaintance with him as one of the finest successes of my life.

I teach people a new will: to desire the path that man has blindly walked: and to call him good, and no longer sneak away from him.

I see in Dostoevsky the most valuable psychological material that I know, I am extremely grateful to him for the fact that he always responds to my innermost instincts.
