Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

The doctrine of equality! There exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.

The doctrine of equality! There exists no more poisonous poi

Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of equality, often celebrated and preached as a principle of justice, can be misleading. The speaker argues that equality as a doctrine can be poisonous because it ultimately undermines justice. The implication is that true justice might involve recognizing and treating individuals differently based on their unique circumstances, rather than blindly advocating for absolute equality for all.
