“The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction…”

-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Anti-Christ, 1895

“The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self conquest: asceticism becomes in them nature, need, and instinct. Difficult tasks are a privilege to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation.”

-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Anti-Christ, 1895
