I am not a human being, I am dynamite.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Some people do not become thinkers simply because their memories are too good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
