Friedrich Nietzsche
All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christians call it faith ... I call it the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian church is an encyclopedia of prehistoric cults.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
