'meaning and morality of one's life come from within oneself. healthy, strong individuals seek self expansion by experimenting and by living dangerously. life consists of an infinite number of possibilities and the healthy person explores as many of them as possible. religions that teach pity, self-contempt, humility, self-restraint and guilt are incorrect. the good life is ever changing, challenging, devoid of regret, intense, creative and risky.'


/ friedrich nietzsche
