higher man, n.All

The Higher man (n.) at ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠his highest, would represent the antithetical character of existence most strongly — man must grow better and more evil at once.

The Higher man (n.) at ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠his highest, would have the greatest multiplicity of drives in the greatest strength that can be endured — as in Shakespeare, instincts that conflict powerfully but are controlled.

The Higher man (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠afflicted because everything that distinguishes him reaches his consciousness accompanied by a feeling of diminution — his strengths are the cause of his gloom, while the mediocre stay cheerful.
