Friedrich Nietzsche
A light has dawned for me: I need companions, living ones, not dead companions and corpses which I carry with me wherever I wish. But I need living companions who follow me because they want to follow themselves- and who want to go where I want to go.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
