You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause. War and courage have accomplished more… - Friedrich Nietzsche

You say that a good cause will even sanctify war! I tell you, it is the good war that sanctifies every cause!

He who cannot put his thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of dispute.

Deception, flattering, lying, deluding, talking behind the back, putting up a false front, living in borrowed splendor, wearing a mask, hiding behind convention, playing a role for others and for oneself — in short, a continuous fluttering around the solitary flame of vanity — is so much the rule and the law among men that there is almost nothing which is less comprehensible than how an honest and pure drive for truth could have arisen among them. They are deeply immersed in illusions and in dream images; their eyes merely glide over the surface of things and see "forms."

The melancholy of everything completed!
