Quote

The noble type of man feels himself to be the determiner of values, he does not need to be approved of, he judges 'what harms me is harmful in itself', he knows himself to be that which in general accords honour to things, he creates values.

We come to recognize that playfulness, as a philosophical stance, can be very serious indeed and moreover, that it possesses an unfailing capacity to arouse ridicule and hostility in those among us who crave certainty, reverence, and restraint.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I have never come across someone who could inspire more respect than the Greek philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever has really sacrificed anything, knows that he wanted and got something in return.
