Friedrich Nietzsche
German philogist, philosopher, poet, composer
(1844-1900)

"Man is the cruelest animal."

"All ancient philosophy was oriented toward the simplicity of life and taught a certain kind of modesty in one’s need. In light of this, the few philosophic vegetarians have done more for mankind than all new philosophers, and as long as philosophers do not take courage to seek out a totally changed way of life and to demonstrate it by their example, they are worth nothing."
