Friedrich Nietzsche
Under peaceful conditions a warlike man sets upon himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Away from God and gods did this will lure me: what would there be to create if gods existed?

Friedrich Nietzsche
