We are probably all Narcissists, who love and hate their image, but to which any other is indifferent. This instinct of similarity guides us in life, it screams to us "stop!" before a landscape, a woman, a poem. We may admire others, without feeling the blow. The instinct of similarity is the only line of conduct that is not artificious. But in society only unrefined spirits may appear immune to sins against morality, for they are always attracted by the same type. So some men stick to "blondes", ignoring that often the deeper affinities are the most secret.

This compassionate Idiot denies the whole of Life, all thinking and feeling, all that the world and reality mean to others. For him Reality is something entirely different than for them. Their Reality is for him a shadow: For that reason, because he sees and offers a new Reality, he becomes the enemy. [...] He has literally, once and more than once, stood on the magic borderland where everything is affirmed, where not only the remotest thought is true, but also the contrary of such thought. His innocence is not so harmless and men are rightly in awe of him.[...] He does not break the Tables of the Law, he simply turns them round and shows that the contrary to them is written on the other side.

Everywhere, from popular culture to systems of propaganda there is a contant pressure to make people feel impotent and instil in them the idea that the only role they have is that to ratify decisions and consume.

You either repeat the usual conventional doctrines that everyone preaches or you may choose to say something true, and it'll sound as if it came from Neptune.

Laugh always, laugh, make them think you're mad, but never sad. Laugh even if the world is closing in on you, go on smiling. There are people who live for your smile and others who'll gnaw once they'll understand that they weren't able to put it out.
