You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down bec... - Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

"All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment…"

"You tell me: 'Life is hard to bear.' But if it were otherwise why should you have your pride in the morning and your resignation in the evening?Life is hard to bear: but do not pretend to be so tender! We are all of us pretty fine asses and asseses of burden!"

"The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly."

"You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted."

"Ah, ye brethren, that God whom I created was human work and human madness, like all the Gods!"
