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.

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.
