“The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.” - David Lynch
"There are two classes of human beings. One has ideas, which it believes in fully, perhaps, but modifies to bring about 'success.' The other class has ideas which it believes in and must carry out absolutely; success or no success. The first class has a tremendous majority, and they are all slaves. The second class are the only free people in the world." - Robert Henri
"What is good?--Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man. What is evil?--Whatever springs from weakness. What is happiness?--The feeling that power increases--that resistance is overcome. Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war; not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense, virtu, virtue free of moral acid). The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it. What is more harmful than any vice?--Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak--Christianity..." - Nietzsche
"Man isn't a noble savage, he's an ignoble savage. He is irrational, brutal, weak, silly, unable to be objective about anything where his own interests are involved—that about sums it up. I'm interested in the brutal and violent nature of man because it's a true picture of him. And any attempt to create social institutions on a false view of the nature of man is probably doomed to failure." - Stanley Kubrick
"As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also."
"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." -Thomas Jefferson
"The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment." - Nietzsche
“The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.” - David Lynch ..

Nietzsche

I've probably posted this first video before, but it's so good I had to repost it. Although it doesn't make up for not reading the works of Nietzsche, it does shed some insight on a bit of the philoso...
