Little prigs and three-quarter madmen may have the conceit that the laws of nature are constantly broken for their sakes.
Friedrich NietzscheThe purpose of punishment is to improve those who do the punishing--that is the final recourse of those who support punishment.
Friedrich NietzscheTHE SUFFERING OF GENIUS AND ITS VALUE. The artistic genius desires to give pleasure, but if his mind is on a very high plane he does not easily find anyone to share his pleasure; he offers entertainment but nobody accepts it. That gives him, in certain circumstances, a comically touching pathos; for he has no right to force pleasure on men. He pipes, but none will dance: can that be tragic?
