Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
And it is the great noon when man stands at the midpoint of his course between beast and superman and celebrates his way to the evening as his highest hope: for it is the way to a new morning.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Fanatics are picturesque, mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For all things are baptized at the font of eternity, and beyond good and evil good and evil themselves, however, are but intervening shadows and damp afflictions and passing clouds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The form of a work of art, which gives speech to their thoughts and is, therefore, their mode of talking, is always somewhat uncertain, like all kinds of speech.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
