The aphorism, the apothegm, in which I am the first among the Germans to be a master, are the forms of โeternityโ; it is my ambition to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book โ what everyone else does not say in a book.
Friedrich NietzscheMy conception of freedom. โ The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it โ 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 NietzscheThere is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
