Aaron Dembski-Bowden
“And in a sunless realm, the sun rose at last.”
Aaron Dembski-Bowden, The Master of Mankind

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Around the hero everything becomes a tragedy; around the demigod everything becomes a satyr-play; and around God everything becomes — what? perhaps a 'world'?”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy

Friedrich Nietzsche
“In truth there is no individual truths but rather individual errors: the individual itself is an error. Everything that happens in us is in itself something other than we do not know: we first put intention and deception and morality into nature. –I make the distinction however between the imaginary individuals and the true ‘life systems,’ of which each of us is one – one throws both together into one while ‘the individual’ is only a sum of conscious sensations and judgements and errors, a belief, a small piece of the true life-system or many pieces thought and fabled as together, a ‘unity,’ that has no rank. We are blossoms on a tree – what do we know of that which can become of us in the interest of the tree! But we have a consciousness as if we would and should be everything, a fantasy of ‘I’ and all ‘not-I.’ To stop feeling oneself as such a fantastic ego! To learn gradually to throw away the supposed individual! To discover the errors of the ego! To realize egoism is an error! Not to understand its opposite as altruism! That would be the love of other supposed individuals! No! Beyond ‘me’ and ‘you’! To feel cosmically.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Courage, however, is the best slayer—courage which attacks: which slays even death itself, for it says, 'Was that life? Well then! Once more!”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Robert Michels
“He who says organization, says oligarchy”
Robert Michels, Political Parties: A Sociological Study of the Oligarchical Tendencies of Modern Democracy
