"He who possesses greatness is cruel towards..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“What makes one heroic? - Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.”

“This world is the will to power and nothing besides!”

“I can still stand on life's narrowest footing: but who would I be were I to show you this art. Would you like to see a ropedancer?”

“The great make its feel, first of all, the indifference of circumstances. They call into activity the higher perceptions, and subdue the low habits of comfort and luxury; but the higher perceptions find their objects everywhere; only the low habits need palaces and banquets.”

“The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.”

“Great men exist that there might be greater men.”

“The death sentence is a barbaric act . . . It is a reflection of the animal instinct still in human beings.”

“Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind, As man's ingratitude.”

“Man is the only animal that is cruel. It kills just for the sake of it.”
