“Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman - a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.”

“I am the beast at the end of the rope.”

“What are you?
"A man with a rope?"
"Ha-ha.”

“I teach you the Overman. Man is something which shall be surpassed.”

“A man is like a rope: both break at a definite strain…. The solution is not splicing the rope; it’s lessening the tension.”

“I'd love to see a midget battle royale, throw your man over the bottom rope”

“A man may be a thoroughgoing soldier enough on land; but put him in the foot ropes of the flying jibboom in a storm, and he is apt to cut a most ludicrous figure. Shift a physicist's foothold of Cartesian differential coordinates, suspend him over an abyss of non-Euclidean space, and he will kick sturdily. Poor policy this, for a missionary!”

“What are you" -Mac

"I don't follow" -Jericho

"You dropped 30 feet in that warehouse. You should have broken something. What are you?" -Mac

"A man with a rope." -Jericho”

“Many have been led astray by the Qur'an:
by clinging to that rope many have fallen into the well.
There is no fault in the rope, O perverse man,
for it was you who had no desire to reach the top.”

“Walkin' the Tightrope, steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tight rope, it was a shame and a sin.
Walkin the tight rope between wrong and right.
Walkin the tight-rope both day and night.”
