Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us courageous toward the enemy generous toward the vanquished polite-always that is how the four cardinal virtues want us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Without cruelty there is no festival: thus the longest and most ancient part of human history teaches and in punishment there is so much that is festive!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Assuming that he believes at all, the everyday Christian is a pitiful figure, a man who really cannot count up to three, and who besides, precisely because of his mental incompetence, would not deserve such a punishment as Christianity promises him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every high degree of power always involves a corresponding degree of freedom from good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche

I enquire now as to the genesis of a philologist and assert the following: 1. A young man cannot possibly know what Greeks and Romans are. 2. He does not know whether he is suited for finding out about them.
