Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power--assuming that life itself is the will to power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What good is all this free-thinking, modernity, and turncoat flexibility if at some gut level you are still a Christian, a Catholic, and even a priest!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Lift up your hearts, my brothers, high, higher! And don't forget about your legs either! Lift up your legs as well, you good dancers, and better yet--stand also on your heads!
Friedrich Nietzsche
