Friedrich Nietzsche
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!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
I listened for the echo, and I heard only praise —
Friedrich Nietzsche
I believe only in French culture and consider everything in Europe that calls itself 'culture' a misunderstanding, not to speak of German culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher culture an individual attains, the less field there is left for mockery and scorn.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man who possesses genius is insufferable unless he also possesses at least two other things: gratitude and cleanliness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
