Examples

  • In NEW PHILOSOPHERS -- there is no other alternative: in minds strong and original enough to initiate opposite estimates of value, to transvalue and invert "eternal valuations"; in forerunners, in men of the future, who in the present shall fix the constraints and fasten the knots which will compel millenniums to take NEW paths.

    Beyond Good and Evil Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche 1872
