"The man who does not wish to..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“The value of a man can only be measured with regard to other men.”

“Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.”

“I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.”

“The dreamer's valuation of a thing lost - not another man's - is the only standard to measure it by, and his grief for it makes it large and great and fine, and is worthy of our reverence in all cases.”

“All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.”

“I wanted to become me, totally me. The more me, the better. I instinctively knew this and I was right.”

“With this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature. for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature.”

“Greatness once and forever has down with opinion.”

“A person who chooses to die or to risk death demonstrates that there are values, principles, maxims, that are more valuable to him than is life itself. In short, he places his immortal self above his mortal self. Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.”
