"Kant views humans as ends in themselves, rational beings deserving respect. Only act in ways you’d want everyone to act, as treating people as mere means violates their dignity.

Friedrich Nietzsche
“74. A man of genius is unbearable, unless he possess at least two things besides: gratitude and purity.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Ernst Jünger
“Throughout the war, it was always my endeavour to view my opponent without animus, and to form an opinion of him as a man on the basis of the courage he showed. I would always try and seek him out in combat and kill him, and I expected nothing else from him. But never did I entertain mean thoughts of him.

Ernst Jünger, Storm of Steel

Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it, even with the best right, but without being OBLIGED to do so, proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring beyond measure.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Pier Vittorio Tondelli
“Abbiamo bisogno di tempo. Di mettere tempo fra noi. Di vivere insieme, di viaggiare insieme, perché il nostro pensiero riconosca istintivamente l'altro; e lo riconosca come una presenza automatica di consuetudine e di affetto. Abbiamo bisogno di molto tempo per accettare la brutalità del fatto di non essere più soli.”
Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Camere separate

Friedrich Nietzsche
“I dislike him.”—Why?—“I am not a match for him.”—Did any one ever answer so?”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
