Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1864-1900)

‘We modern men are the heirs of the conscience-vivisection and self-torture of millennia: this is what we have practiced longest, it is our distinctive art perhaps, and in any case our subtlety in which we have acquired a refined taste.”

  • From Friedrich Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals, translated by Walter Kaufmann.
