Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Well-meaning, helpful, good-natured attitudes of mind have not come to be honored on account of their usefulness, but because they are states of richer souls that are capable of bestowing and have their value in the feeling of the plenitude of life.

They grow up in ideas of negation in everything -- in other words, utter savages.
