What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?

The better the state is established, the fainter is humanity. To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task.

We can destroy only as creators

Your god is dead and only the ignorant weep. And if you claim there is a hell, then we shall meet there!

Only you must have worthy foes hate, but not enemies worthy of contempt. You must be proud of your enemy.

I love him who scattereth golden words in advance of his deeds, and always doeth more than he promiseth: for he seeketh his own down-going.

When the gratitude of many to one throws away all shame, we behold fame.
