Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.

The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.

But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.

There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.

Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.

Art and revolt will die only with the last man.

I rebel; therefore I exist.
