Freidrich Nietzsche was a great man. In addition to making memorable quotes ("There has only ever been one Christian, and he was nailed to a Cross") and writing books that have awesome titles when translated into English ("Human, All Too Human", "The Gay Science", "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"), he is perhaps most famous for having the most bitchin' facial hair ever to grace Western Europe. And this thread honors it.

Ubermench in his civilian disguise. Nietzsche used glasses to conceal his secret identity for decades before Superman made it fashionable.

You wish you were this cool of a guy. Look at that 'Tach. LOOK AT IT.

The quote by this man is arguably the best part of Too Human.

EDIT:

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

That's the correct translation from the german:

Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

From his book titled "Beyond Good and Evil".

BG&E, the game, was named after that. Obviously. Too Human was obviously named after "Human, all too Human".
