More from Friedrich Nietzsche
"The tree that would grow to heaven must send its roots to hell."

"The most effective way to inflict pain on another person is to pretend that they don't exist."
"Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss. A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting."
"The state, I call it, where all are poison-drinkers, the good and the bad: the state, where all lose themselves, the good and the bad: the state, where the slow suicide of all is called 'life.'"
About Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
German philosopher of 'God is dead,' ressentiment, and the will to power, who attacked Christian moral psychology at its foundations. Closely associated with Arthur Schopenhauer (his early intellectual father, later broken with). For an intellectual contrast, see Søren Kierkegaard, Danish Christian existentialist of the leap of faith — both diagnosed modern despair, but Kierkegaard's answer was Christ and Nietzsche's was the death of God — the two existentialist roads taken from the same starting point.
The standard scholarly entry points to Friedrich Nietzsche's work: Walter Kaufmann (Princeton, the postwar Nietzsche rehabilitator) — Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist (1950); Brian Leiter (University of Chicago Law School) — Nietzsche on Morality (2002); Maudemarie Clark (UC Riverside, Emerita) — Nietzsche on Truth and Philosophy (1990). These are the works graduate seminars cite when teaching Friedrich Nietzsche.
