لَو طَوَّرنا عِرقًا كاملًا ممّن يُشبهون إسحاق نيوتن فهذا لَن يُحسَبَ تقدّمًا. لأنّ نيوتن دفعَ الثمنَ غاليًا ليكونَ العقلَ السامي الذي هو عليه، فَلَم يقدِر على صداقةٍ أو حبٍّ أو أُبوة، وغيرِها الكثير من الأُمور المرغوبة. هو خائبٌ من حيثُ كونِه رجلًا؛ لكنّه بديعٌ من حيثُ كونِه وحشًا.

If we evolved a race of Isaac Newtons, that would not be progress. For the price Newton had to pay for being a supreme intellect was that he was incapable of friendship, love, fatherhood, and many other desirable things. As a man he was a failure; as a monster he was superb. — Aldous Huxley

- What is life? - Life is a monstrous evil. The answer would be a true one, but only for the man who gave it.

— The Twilight of The Idols, by Friedrich Nietzsche

In all ages the wisest have always agreed in their judgement of life: it is no good. At all times and places the same words have been on their lips,—words full of doubt, full of melancholy, full of weariness of life, full of hostility to life. Even Socrates’ dying words were:—“To live—means to be ill a long while: I owe a rooster to the god Æsculapius.” These great sages of all periods should first be examined more closely! Is it possible that they were, everyone of them, a little shaky on their legs, effete, rocky, decadent? Does wisdom perhaps appear on earth after the manner of a crow attracted by a slight smell of carrion? What? Is it possible that all these great sages were not only decadents, but that they were not even wise? — The Twilight of The Idols, by Friedrich Nietzsche

Who hath a harder battle to fight than he who striveth for self-mastery? (Thomas à Kempis)
