And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to believing in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.

Terry Pratchett Feet of Clay

Francis Fukuyama The End of...
The human project, after freeing itself from the constraints of previous philosophies that believed in the possibility of an absolute truth, has come to envisage the 're-evaluation of all values,' starting with Christian values. It deliberately sought to shake faith in equality among humans, viewing it as merely a prejudice instilled by Christianity in us. Nietzsche apparently hoped that someday the principle of equality would give way to morals justifying the dominance of the strong over the weak. He ultimately glorified what can be considered a philosophy of cruelty. He hated societies that embrace diversity and tolerance, and preferred those that dismiss tolerance and act instinctively without remorse.

He saw his marriage becoming what most of the other marriages about him were: a dull association of material and social interests held together by ignorance on the one side and hypocrisy on the other.
