Anything which is a living and not a dying body... will have to be an incarnate will to power, it will strive to grow, spread, seize, become predominant - not from any morality or immorality but because it is living and because life simply is will to power... 'Exploitation'... belongs to the essence of what lives, as a basic organic function; it is a consequence of the will to power, which is after all the will to life.

If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure; only the Englishman does.

No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.

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

Such a man as instinctively feeds on pure ambrosia and leaves alone the indigestible in things.

A man unconsciously imagines that where he is strong, where he feels most thoroughly alive, the element of his freedom must lie.

The doer is merely a fiction added to the deed ? the deed is everything.
