Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes, Pride Quotes, Sublime Quotes

Only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. The giver's glance gleams like gold. A golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. Uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

All of us are murderers.... God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.
