Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good Quotes

A collection of quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), a German philosopher, renowned for his controversial ideas on morality, religion, and human nature. His influential work, "Beyond Good and Evil" published in 1886, challenged traditional ethical norms and advocated for the reevaluation of moral values.
