Friedrich Nietzsche

Was spending my day reading up om the works of Friedrich Nietzsche. I must say that I so agree with his teachings and all. Brilliant German philosopher.

Here's one of his quotes that left me in awe:
What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. What is Bad? Everything that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance has been overcome. Not contentedness but more power; not peace but war; not virtue but fitness. The weak and the failures shall perish like fish: first principle is our love of man. And they shall even be given every possible assistance. What is more Harmful than any vice? Active pity for all the failures and all the weak: Christianity. —Nietzsche, The Antichrist.

"Modern democracy is the historic form of decay of the state"(Nietzsche, der Antichrist)

Heil Friedrich Nietzsche!

Looks like I must go to the library to read up more on this magnificant man and his thoughts.
