Nobility of Blood

upl57ed0dfd6a1f1

"There is only nobility of birth, only nobility of blood. (I am not speaking here of that little word "von" or of the Almanach de Gotha: parenthesis for asses). When one speaks of "aristocrats of the spirit", reasons are usually not lacking for concealing something; as is well known, it is a favorite term among ambitious Jews. For spirit alone does not make noble; rather, there must be something to enable to spirit. - What then is required? Blood."

Friedrich Nietzsche
