"Existence really is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present."
Friedrich Nietzsche  Also, "'Evil men have no songs.' How is it that
the Russians have songs?"  Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche was originally Prussian, but applied for annulment
of his citizenship.  Once granted the annulment, he spent the rest of
his days stateless but claimed (falsely) to be a decedent of Polish
nobility.
