Friedrich NietzscheTo have to fight the instincts - that is the definition of decadence: as long as life is ascending, happiness equals instinct.
Friedrich NietzscheMy conception of freedom. — The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
