The Antichrist

"What is good? — All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man. What is bad? — All that proceeds from weakness. What is happiness? — The feeling that power increases — that a resistance is overcome."

"The weak and ill-constituted shall perish: first principle of our philanthropy. And one shall help them to do so."

"I call an animal, a species, an individual depraved when it loses its instincts, when it chooses, when it prefers what is harmful to it."

"Pity on the whole thwarts the law of evolution, which is the law of selection."

"The very word 'Christianity' is a misunderstanding--at bottom there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross."

"The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity; it has turned every value into worthlessness, and every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul."
