Man is the cruelest animal," says Zarathustra. "When gazing at tragedies, bull-fights, crucifixations he hath hitherto felt happier than at any other time on Earth. And when he invented Hell...lo, Hell was his Heaven on Earth"; he could put up with suffering now, by contemplating the eternal punishment of his oppressors in the other world.

Friedrich Nietzsche

1844-10-15 — 1900-08-25 · Röcken

Friedrich Nietzsche was an influential German philosopher, philologist, and cultural critic. His work addresses themes such as morality, religion, truth, art, and the human condition, with a radical critique of traditional Western values. He is known for concepts such as the "death of God", the "superman" (Übermensch), and the "will to power" (Wille zur Macht). His writing is marked by an aphoristic and provocative style, which challenges the reader to rethink their beliefs and values.
