„Faptul că filozofia nu este o abstracţie rece, ci trăire, suferinţă şi sacrificiu pentru omenire îl ştia Nietzsche prea bine, şi a fost pentru el un exemplu. A fost condus în sus spre gheţarii erorii groteşti, dar viitorul era, în realitate, tărâmul iubirii sale, iar generaţiilor următoare, nouă, a căror tinereţe îi datorează infinitul, Nietzsche le va apărea ca o figură de un tragism plăpând şi onorabil, înconjurat cu flăcări de fulgerul acestei schimbări de epocă.“ (Thomas MANN) Cine se luptă cu monștri trebuie să ia seama să nu se transforme la rândul lui într-un monstru. Iar dacă vei privi multă vreme într-o prăpastie, prăpastia va privi și ea în adâncul tău. Vanitatea noastră ar dori ca, din tot ceea ce facem, tocmai lucrul care ne reușește cel mai bine să fie considerat cel mai greu de realizat. Asta explică originea multor sisteme morale. Lucrurile făcute din dragoste au loc întotdeauna dincolo de bine și de rău.
