Ellen Gould White
“The Bible is an anvil that has worn out many hammers.”
Ellen G. White

Friedrich Nietzsche
“I teach you the overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him?... All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood, and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is ape to man? A laughing stock or painful embarrassment. And man shall be that to overman: a laughingstock or painful embarrassment. You have made your way from worm to man, and much in you is still worm. Once you were apes, and even now, too, man is more ape than any ape... The overman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: the overman shall be the meaning of the earth... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman—a rope over an abyss ... what is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
“There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. And when the lambs whisper among themselves, 'These birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever of the opposite of a bird of prey must be good?', there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument - though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, 'Wehave nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Bernard Cornwell
“Wyrd bið ful āræd. Fate is inexorable.”
Bernard Cornwell, Warriors of the Storm

Friedrich Nietzsche
“They fear their higher self, because when it speaks, it speaks demandingly.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
