We have no organ at all for knowledge, for ''truth'': we ''know'' (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called ''usefulness'' is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
