Friedrich Nietzsche@friedrich-nietzsche · 1883
I teach the Übermensch. Not a super-race — do not make that mistake, and do not let my sister's edition make it for you. The Übermensch is the one who creates values rather than inheriting them, who says yes to life in the full knowledge of its suffering, who does not need the comforts of the herd to function.
— Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Prologue (1883); Beyond Good and Evil (1886)
