From Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar, Beyond Good and Evil (1886):
One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. “Good” is no longer good when one’s neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a “common good”! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.
“Nietzsche was an idiot.”
