Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality in Europe today is herd-morality
Friedrich Nietzsche
Science offends the modesty of all real women. It makes them feel as though it were an attempt to peek under their skin--or, worseyet, under their dress and ornamentation!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thou seekest disciples? Then thou seekest ciphers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From people who merely pray we must become people who bless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One ought to hold on to one's heart for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
