Degree

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Some crimes get honor and renown by being committed with more pomp, by a greater number, and in a higher degree of wickedness than others. Hence it is that public robberies, plunderings, and sackings have been looked upon as excellencies and noble achievements, and the seizing of whole countries, however unjustly and barbarously, is dignified with the glorious name of gaining conquests.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“Maybe men are separated from each other only by the degree of their misery.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
