All beings so far have created something beyond themselves; and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? what is the ape to man? a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. and man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment.
