Devil Spawn Assorted Opinions and Maxims
 
 

The most dangerous party member.-- In every party there is
one who through his all too credulous avowal of the party's
principles incites the others to apostasy.

            from Nietzsche's Human, all too Human, s.298, R.J.
                                                    Hollingdale transl.
 

Not suitable as a party member.-- Whoever thinks much is
not suitable as a party member: he soon thinks himself right
out of the party.

            from Nietzsche's Human, all too Human, s.579, R.J.
                                                    Hollingdale transl.
 

The most dangerous follower.-- The most dangerous follower
is he whose defection would destroy the whole party: that is
to say, the best follower.

   from Nietzsche's The Wanderer and his Shadow,s. 290, R.J.
                                                    Hollingdale transl.
 

Hundred-year quarantine.-- Democratic institutions are
quarantine arrangements to combat that ancient pestilence,
lust for tyranny: as such they are very useful and very boring.

   from Nietzsche's The Wanderer and his Shadow,s. 289, R.J.
                                                    Hollingdale transl.
 

Not too deep.-- People who comprehend a thing to its very
depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought
its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is
always much that is unpleasant to see.

            from Nietzsche's Human, all too Human, s.489, R.J.
                                                    Hollingdale transl.
 

Punishment.-- A strange thing, our kind of punishment! It
does not cleanse the offender, it is no expiation: on the
contrary, it defiles more than the offense itself.

    from Nietzsche's Daybreak,s. 236, R.J. Hollingdale transl.
