Friedrich Nietzsche
1258 citations

Read from a distant star, the majuscule script of our earthly existence would perhaps lead to the conclusion that the earth was the distinctively ascetic planet, a nook of disgruntled, arrogant creatures filled with a profound disgust with themselves, at the earth, at all life, who inflict as much pain on themselves as they possibly can out of pleasure in inflicting pain which is probably their only pleasure. ✨ Friedrich Nietzsche (2009). Basic Writings of Nietzsche, p.553, Modern Library
