"Iron necessity is a thing which in..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“...one can speak with the utmost clearness, and yet not be heard by anyone.”

“In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.”

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.”

“Hunger is the handmaid of genius”

“Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.”

“Without electricity, the air would rot.”

“It [the Civil War] was a heroic struggle; and, as is inevitable with all such struggles, it had also a dark and terrible side. Very much was done of good, and much also of evil; and, as was inevitable in such a period of revolution, often the same man did both good and evil. For our great good fortune as a nation, we, the people of the United States as a whole, can now afford to forget the evil, or, at least, to remember it without bitterness, and to fix our eyes with pride only on the good that was accomplished.”

“Little did we guess that what has been called the century of the common man would witness as its outstanding feature more common men killing each other with greater facilities than any other five centuries together in the history of the world.”
