The Will To Power
Represents a selection from Nietzche's notebooks to find out what he wrote on nihilism, art, morality, religion, and the theory of knowledge, among others.
Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love.
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness.
An educator never says what he himself thinks, but always only what he thinks of a thing in relation to the requirements of those he educates.
On this road lies the future of the highest men: to bear the greatest responsibility and not collapse under it.
I find it tasteless to be familiar.
I wish men would begin by respecting themselves: everything else follows from that.

The aim is lacking; 'why?' finds no answer.
A declaration of war on the masses by higher men is needed! A doctrine is needed powerful enough to work as a breeding agent: strengthening the strong, paralyzing and destructive for the world-weary. The annihilation of the decaying races... Dominion over the earth as a means of producing the higher…
The new philosopher can arise only in conjunction with a ruling caste, as its highest spiritualization. Great politics, rule over the earth, are at hand.
The concept of 'reprehensible action' presents us with some difficult. Nothing in all that happens can be reprehensible in itself: one not dare to eliminate it completely for everything is so bound up with everything else, that to exclude one part would mean to exclude the whole.
