Mencken on Nietzsche:

"It is not a German that speaks in ‘The Antichrist,’ nor even the Polish noble that Nietzsche liked to think himself, but a Greek of the brave days before Socrates, a spokesman of Hellenic innocence and youth."

Nietzsche’s physique and bearing as described by pianist Adolf Ruthardt, who met him in 1885.

“Everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ‘ugly’. His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride - they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.” — Friedrich Nietzsche.

So true king, lmao
