Friedrich Nietzsche

The Will To Power

Book Two: Critique of Highest Values

259 Insight: all evaluation is made from a definite perspective: that of the preservation of the individual, a community, a race, a  state, a church, a faith, a culture.- Because we forget that valua­tion is always from a perspective, a single individual contains within him a vast confusion of contradictory valuations and con­sequently of contradictory drives. This is the expression of the diseased condition in man, in contrast to the animals in which all existing instincts answer to quite definite tasks.
