Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
New Domestic Animals. I want to have my lion and my eagle about me, that I may always have hints and premonitions concerning the amount of my strength or weakness. Must I look down on them today, and be afraid of them? And will the hour come once more when they will look up to me, and tremble?
Summary

The speaker metaphorically compares their strength and weakness to a lion and an eagle, suggesting that these "domestic animals" can provide important insights and warning signs about their own capabilities. The quote explores the question of whether the time will come when the speaker is no longer afraid of their own strength and can regain a position of authority and dominance over these powerful aspects of their nature.
