“Among the things that can drive a thinker to despair is the knowledge that the illogical is necessary for man and that much good comes from it.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“The biggest danger, that of losing oneself, can pass off in the world as quietly as if it were nothing; every other loss, an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. is bound to be noticed.”
― Kierkegaard, Kierkegaard, La Maladie à la mort - Les intégrales de Philo (INTEGRALES)

“The historical imagination has never flown so far, even in a dream; for now the history of man is merely the continuation of that of animals and plants; the universal historian finds traces of himself even in the utter depths of the sea, in the living slime. He stands astounded in the face of the enormous way that man has run, and his gaze quivers before the mightier wonder, the modern man who can see all the way! He stands proudly on the pyramid of the world-process; and while he lays the final stone of his knowledge, he seems to cry aloud to listening Nature: "We are at the top, we are at the top; we are the completion of Nature!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life

“For Nietzsche, the very essence of man was neither his desire nor his reason, but his thymos: man was above all a valuing creature, the "beast with red cheeks" who found life in his ability to pronounce the words "good" and "evil.”
― Francis Fukuyama, The End of History and the Last Man
