Friedrich NietzscheA man who possesses genius is insufferable unless he also possesses at least two other things: gratitude and cleanliness.
Friedrich NietzschePreparatory human beings. - I welcome all signs that a more virile, warlike age is about to begin, which will restore honour to courage above all! For this age shall prepare the way for one yet higher, and it shall gather the strength that this higher age will require some day - the age that will carry heroism into the search for knowledge and that will wage wars for the sake of ideas and their consequences.
Friedrich Nietzsche
