Friedrich Nietzsche
What makes one heroic? - Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall be those whose eyes ever seek for an enemy - for YOUR enemy. And with some of you there is hatred at first sight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The drive toward knowledge has a moral origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
