No one have I yet found who more thoroughly despised himself: even THAT is elevation. Alas, was THIS perhaps the higher man whose cry I heard? I love the great despisers.

When Zarathustra had left the ugliest man, he was chilled and felt lonesome: for much coldness and lonesomeness came over his spirit, so that even his limbs became colder thereby.
"Well, I'll tell you this much," ses the cook, arter sitting with his 'ead in his 'ands, thinking; "one of 'em is nearly the ugliest man in the fo'c's'le and the other ain't."

It is very diverting.
"I heard that you won the prize at Annette's party for making the worst looking face," he continued, "but I didn't suppose it was as bad as that." "That isn't half bad," cried Peace scornfully. "Why, I can make the ugliest faces you ever saw." "Bet you can't!" "Bet I can!" "Try it!"
