from Twilight of the Idols

" 'What is the task of all higher education?' To turn men into machines. 'What are the means?' Man must learn to be bored. 'How is that accomplished?' By means of the concept of duty. [...] 'Who is the perfect man?' The civil servant."

A version of this idea in song is available here.
