Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman--a rope over an abyss. A dangerous across, a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous shuddering and stopping. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under. I love those who do not know how to live, for they are those who cross over.
- -- Friedrich Nietzsche,
- "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", Datalinks
Following the development of Homo Superior, many advocated a return to Friedrich Nietzsche�s philosophy of The Will To Power. This philosophy stresses the importance of strength, asceticism, and resolute action, often at the cost of compassion, charity, and other traditionally religious qualities.
