"Great things demand that we either remain..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is-cynically and with innocence.

More on Greatness
“Every great man is unique.”
“He who would be a great soul in the future, must be a great soul now.”
“The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is a part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure contumely without resentment.”
More on Communication
“But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.”
“Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions.”
“People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.”
