Christianity remains to this day the greatest misfortune of humanity.
Friedrich NietzscheRead
The secret of realizing the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships out into uncharted seas! Live in conflict with your equals and with yourselves! Be robbers and ravagers as soon as you ca not be rulers and owners, you men of knowledge! The time will soon past when you could be content to live concealed int he woods like timid deer!

Embrace risk and challenge to fully experience life.
Friedrich Nietzsche's quote suggests that true fulfillment and enjoyment of life come from taking risks and confronting challenges head-on. He emphasizes the importance of living boldly, as staying safe and conforming to societal norms can lead to a life of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential.

Mad they all appear to me, clambering monkeys and overardent. Foul smells their idol, the cold monster: foul, they smell to me altogether, these idolators.

The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
The future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.
Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
A culture fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.
Ringing assurance that we are not alone... That we are assisted and defended by a powerful and glorious order of invisible Beings.
There may be a time when a country will have to wake up from a vision of happiness, when they have to realize that theirs is not the perfect idea, that there are many aspects that do not correspond to the reality of what is there, the real need and aspirations of the people.
