“On the pitiless earth where lovers are often separated in death and are always born

“Fascism wants to establish the advent of the Nietzschean superman.
It immediately discovers that God, if He exists, may well be this or that, but He is primarily the master of

Manufacturer of corpses and of sub-men, he is a sub-man himself and not God, but the ignoble servant of
death”

“Art is the activity that exalts and denies simultaneously. "No artist tolerates reality," says Nietzsche. That

Rebellion can be observed here in its pure state and in its original complexities. Thus art should give us a
final perspective on the content of rebellion.”
