Did someone say Nietzsche quotes?
"We are not thinking frogs." -- Nietzsche, _The Joyful Science_
"It perhaps distinguishes the Asiatics above the Europeans, that they are capable of a longer and profounder repose; even their narcotics operate slowly and require patience, in contrast to the obnoxious suddenness of the European poison, alcohol." -- Nietzsche, _The Joyful Science_
"It is not unknown to me that there is vulgarity in everything that pleases Southern Europe." -- Nietzsche, _The Joyful Science_
"Protestantism is, to be sure, an uprising in favor of the upright, the guileless, the shallow." -- Nietzsche, _The Joyful Science_

"Die Deutschen meinen, daß die Kraft sich in Härte und Grausamkeit offenbaren müsse, sie unterwerfen sich dann gerne und mit Bewunderung:[...]. Daß es Kraft giebt in der Milde und Stille, das glauben sie nicht leicht."
"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
