    Just as soon as we notice that someone has to force himself to pay attention when dealing and talking with us, we have a valid demonstration that he does not love us or that he does not love us anymore.

    Out of love, women become entirely what it is that they are in the imaginations of the men who love them.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I love him who does not want to have too many virtues. One virtue is more virtue than two, since it is more knot on which to hang the rope that is destined to hang him.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
