“Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights; as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful – but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.”

German philosopher of the late 19th century, Nietzsche is best known for his critical examination of traditional morality and religion, as well as his influential concepts like the "will to power" and the "Übermensch." His provocative critiques of culture, art, and human nature continue to shape philosophical and psychological thought.
