“ Universality is the distinguishing mark of genius. There is no such thing as a special genius, a genius for mathematics, or for music, or even for chess, but only a universal genius. The genius is a man who knows everything without having learned it. ”

No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them

~ Otto Weininger

Woman is soulless and possesses neither ego nor individuality, personality nor freedom, character nor will.

~ Otto Weininger

The criminal (as slave) often seeks a person of great perfection (and here, as a judge of people's imperfection, the criminal is much harsher than a good man), because he so wants to obtain trust from outside (not through an inner change of mind). If he believes he has found such a person, he gives himself up to him in the most complete slavery, and he searches in an importunate manner for people whom he could serve as a slave. He also wants to live as a slave so as never to be alone.

~ Otto Weininger

Great men have always preferred women of the prostitute type.
