His requirements include qualities that usually destroy a man:
- a tremendous multiplicity of qualities; he must be a brief abstract of man, of all man's higher and lower desires: a danger from antitheses, also from disgust of himself;
- he must be inquisitive in the most various directions: danger of going to pieces;
- he must be just and fair in the highest sense, but profound in love, hate (and injustice) too;
- he must not be only a spectator, but also a legislator: judge and judged (to the extent that he is a brief abstract of the world);
- extremely multifarious, yet firm and hard. Supple.
(Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power Manuscripts)
