Friedrich Nietzsche
From whatever you wish to know and measure you must take your leave, at least for a time. Only when you have left the town can yousee how high its towers rise above the houses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sins are indispensable to every society organized on an ecclesiastical basis they are the only reliable weapons of power the priest lives upon sins it is necessary to him that there be sinning.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those people have no real interest in a science who only begin to get excited about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who rejoices even at the stake triumphs not over pain but over the absence of pain where he had anticipated feeling it. A parable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever has really sacrificed anything, knows that he wanted and got something in return.
Friedrich Nietzsche
