“The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.” — Friedrich Nietzsche Quote

“The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.”

“The most common sort of lie is that by which a man deceives himself: the deception of others is a relatively rare offense.”

“I fail to remember ever having made an effort — no trace of struggle is detectable in my life, I am the opposite of a heroic nature. To “want” something, to “strive” for something, to have an “end,” a “desire” in mind — I know none of this from my experience. Even at this moment I look out upon my future — a broad future! — as upon a smooth sea: no desire ripples upon it.”
