"Moralities and religions are the principal means..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Many are obstinate with regard to the pathway once they have set upon it, few with regard to the goal.”

“We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: "Give me thatin sacrifice"--and we give it.”

“Strideth over all mountains, and laugheth at all tragedies”

“My profession lent itself nicely to my vocation for heights. It freed me of any bitterness towards my fellow men, who were alwaysin my debt, without my owing them anything. It placed me above the judge whom, I in turn judged, above the defendant whom I forced into gratitude.”

“Oh, how great is the power of truth! which of its own power can easily defend itself against all the ingenuity and cunning and wisdom of men, and against the treacherous plots of all the world.”

“Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.”

“Man was destined for society. His morality therefore was to be formed to this object. He was endowed with a sense of right and wrong merely relative to this. This sense is as much a part of his nature as the sense of hearing, seeing, feeling; it is the true foundation of morality... The moral sense, or conscience, is as much a part of man as his leg or arm. It is given to all human beings in a stronger or weaker degree, as force of members is given them in a greater or less degree. It may be strengthened by exercise, as may any particular limb of the body.”

“No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.”

“The one who is good, is free even being a slave; the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.”
