“So long as men praise you, you can only be sure that you are not yet on your own true path but on someone else’s.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of a crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
