Poet and liar. -- The poet considers the liar a foster brother whom he did out of his milk. Hence his brother remained weak and wretched and never even attained a good conscience.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche was a German, existentialist philosopher of the late 19th Century. Along with sources such as the Bible and Shakespeare, Nietzsche's collective works has made him one of the five most quoted authors on earth. Nietzsche popularised the phrase, "God is Dead", and stupid people can still quote that even if they haven't read his books.
(Notably, Nietzsche wrote a letter to his sister denouncing anti-semitism, so you can't blame him for everything in the 20th Century.)
