"Fanatics are picturesque, mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
About this Quote
This quote is saying that individuals are more fascinated by passionate and overstated screens of emotions and actions, even if they are irrational, than they are by logical and affordable arguments. It suggests that people value the look of conviction more than they value the real material of what is being said.
"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind"
"Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all"
"Money is the worst currency that ever grew among mankind. This sacks cities, this drives men from their homes, this teaches and corrupts the worthiest minds to turn base deeds"
