Friedrich Nietzsche
What is evil?-Whatever springs from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Above all, there is no exception to this rule: that the idea of political superiority always resolves itself into the idea of psychological superiority.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is life? A continuous praise and blame.
