Famous David Sinclair Quotes

“We are the Overcomers, the Overmen, not the Last Men. The Last Men want a petty, trivial, comfortable world without any suffering. Fuck ‘em! The task is not to eliminate suffering, but to sublimate it. All people who accomplish anything great impose tremendous discipline, suffering, and hardship on themselves. They deny themselves an easy, hedonistic life. They train hard, study hard, try hard, make tremendous sacrifices. They’re certainly not in the Last Man game of removing suffering from their life. They don’t want to end suffering. They want to use suffering to develop.”

“Nietzsche talked about “good and bad” in the context of nobility. The nobles regarded the exceptional as good and the mediocre as bad. When the “good and bad” of the nobility was replaced by the “good and evil” of the mob, exceptionalism was declared evil, and mediocrity was sanctified. The holy mediocrities are now everywhere. The kingdom of mediocrity is absolute … absolute shit!”

“God is a feeble, emasculated non-God on a cross who can’t even save himself. If he can’t save himself, how can he save you? Give us Nietzsche’s Superman any day. God is dead. Long live the Overman. The task is to get stronger and stronger, not weaker and weaker.”

“The Ignavi were damned because they couldn’t choose any side other than their own. Even worse, perhaps, is the person who chooses a side that isn’t his own just to please someone he likes, just to generally 'signal his virtue'. Nietzsche despised virtue signalers and humble braggers. He thought they had no virtue at all and were actually self-serving narcissists trying to get their own way. He provocatively referred to himself as the first immoralist, but, really, he believed that all moralists were the true immoralists since their morality was never anything other than disguised and highly polished self-interest. There was nothing moral about it.”
