Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.
It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.
We count the courtesies accorded us by unpopular people as offenses.
It is our needs that interpret the world; our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule; each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all other drives to accept as a norm.
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to "happiness" as "goal").
