—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.”

“I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.”
