"If my readers are sufficiently initiated into the idea that “the good man” represents, in the total drama of life, a form of exhaustion, they will respect the consistency of Christianity in conceiving the good man as ugly. Christianity was right in this. For a philosopher to say, “the good and the beautiful are one,” is infamy; if he goes on to add, “also the true,” one ought to thrash him. Truth is ugly. We possess art lest we perish of the truth" Will to Power, Nietzsche, Book 3, 822
