    Nietzsche isn’t the best to quote from. Many times he is speaking the opposite of what he believed by first illustrating it then demolishing it. He was no lover of Germans, Germany or soldiers. His example of an übermensch was polymath genius *Johann Wolfgang von Goethe * (born August 28, 1749, Frankfurt am Main [Germany]—died March 22, 1832, Weimar, Saxe-Weimar.

    When asked about Napoleon he called him half and have, half overman, half underman.

    Ü·ber·mensch

    ˈo͞obərˌmenCH,ˈYbər-/

    noun

    noun: Übermensch; plural noun: Übermenschen

    the ideal superior man of the future who could rise above conventional Christian morality to create and impose his own values, originally described by Nietzsche in Thus Spake Zarathustra (1883–85).
