You do violence with your values and words of good and evil, you valuators; and this is your hidden love and the gleaming, trembling and flowing-over of your souls. But a stronger force grows out of your values and a new overcoming; upon it egg and eggshell break. And whoever must be a creator in good and evil – truly, he must first be an annihilator and break values. Thus the highest evil belongs to the highest goodness, but this is the creative one.
