Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or idealism:
“The whole effort of a sincere man is to erect his personal impressions into laws.”

“My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
