Anything which is a living and not a dying body... will have to be an incarnate will to power, it will strive to grow, spread, seize, become predominant-not from any morality or immorality but because it is living and because life simply is will to power... 'Exploitation'... belongs to the essence of what lives, as a basic organic function; it is a consequence of the will to power, which is after all the will to life.

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

I believe in one thing only, the power of human will.

This freedom and heavenly cheer I have placed over all things like an azure bell when I taught that over them and through them no 'eternal will' wills. This prankish folly I have put in the place of that will when I taught: In everything one thing is impossible: rationality.

Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will.

There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal triumph if you have the iron will and the necessary skill.
