What Nietzsche Knew

Friedrich Nietzsche lived from 1844 to 1900, so he never heard of the orange baby, but he clearly knew of people like it. In Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits, he wrote:

You gave him an opportunity of showing greatness of character and he did not seize it. He will never forgive you for that.

And in Ecce Homo:

Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.
