Friedrich Nietzsche
One must renounce the bad taste of wishing to agree with many people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we have to change our mind about a person, we hold the inconvenience he causes us very much against him.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
What is bad? All that proceeds from weakness
Friedrich Nietzsche
