"...As you were tolerant and possessed a right and straight sense, you said: 'they are innocent of their miserable existence.'
But their narrow souls think: 'Every great existence is guilty.'
Although you were tolerant with them, they felt despised by you; and they returned your charitable work with treacherous evil acts."
Friedrich Nietzsche
