Nothing is more pathological in our pathological modernity than this disease of Christian pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A certain type of person strives to become a master over all, and to extend his force, his will to power, and to subdue all that resists it. But he encounters the power of others, and comes to an arrangement, a union, with those that are like him: thus they work together to serve the will to power. And the process goes on.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
On the heights it is warmer than those in the valley imagine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus had] pride not in logical knowledge but rather in intuitive grasping of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Not to be cowardly when it comes to our own actions! Not to leave them in the lurch!--The sting of conscience is indecent.
