About this image

"Brave, untroubled, mocking, violent — thus Wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman. She always loves only a warrior."
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None, First Part, Chapter 7. Reading and Writing, 1885.

"It wasn't only your mind that kept you pure, it was your nerves. The virtuous woman deceives herself when she thinks
she could have been a light one if she had wished. They say every woman is a rake at heart. Nonsense. You resisted
the temptations to which poor Charmian succumbed not because you were any better than she, don't think that for a
minute; you resisted because there was no temptation. Only a harlot can be a harlot."
Somerset Maugham, The Buried Talent, Nash's Magazine, March 1934.

"Here, the web of the most wicked conspiracy is continually being spun.... — as though health, success, strength, pride 
and the feeling of power were in themselves depravities for which penance, bitter penance will one day be exacted: 
oh, how ready they themselves are, in the last resort, to make others penitent, how they thirst to be hangmen! .... 
when will they actually achieve their ultimate, finest, most sublime triumph of revenge? Doubtless if they succeeded 
in shoving their own misery, in fact all misery, on to the conscience of the happy: so that the latter eventually start to 
be ashamed of their happiness and perhaps say to one another: "It’s a disgrace to be happy! There is too much misery!"
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morality, Third essay, No. 14, trans. Carol Diethe, 1887.
