He who has attained intellectual emancipation to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth and not even as a traveller towards a final goal, for there is no such thing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A high civilization is a pyramid: it can stand only on a broad base its primary prerequisite is a strong and soundly consolidated mediocrity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The hour when you say, What does my happiness matter? It is poverty and filth, and a wretched complacency. Yet my happiness should justify existence itself!
Friedrich Nietzsche
