Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus had] the highest form of pride [stemming] from a certainty of belief in the truth as grasped by himself alone. He brings this form, by its excessive development, into a sublime pathos by involuntary identification of himself with his truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
