Aphorisms on Love and Hate

If someone prefers revenge to justice, he is moral by the standard of an earlier culture, yet by the standard of the present culture he is immoral. ‘Immoral’ then indicates that someone has not felt, or not felt strongly enough, the higher, finer, more spiritual motives which the new culture of the time has brought with it. It indicates a backward nature, but only in degree.

Swift remarked that men are grateful in the same proportion as they cherish revenge.

There were some interesting ideas raised in this book. Most are par for the course, and are brought up in most Nietzsche books I've read but it gives a good overview of a fair number of his ideas. If you haven't read Nietzsche before and want an "intro" book to read before tackling his larger works this is a great book for that.
