Being wise
is depressing.
Being happy
stultifies.
The following Nietzschisms come from a quotations website:
Wisdom maybe arrives in the world like a raven lured by carrion.
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Scholarship has the same relationship to wisdom as righteousness has to holiness: it is cold and dry, it is loveless and knows nodeep feelings of inadequacy or longing.
The growth of wisdom may be gauged precisely by the diminution of ill-temper.
Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud; it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day produce thunderbolts.
Birds, of course, are a kind of fish.
