Paucorum hominum is a Latin phrase that literally means “of few men”. More poetically, it means, “for the few”.
It’s a common phrase of the Latin poets, but is most commonly known now for Nietzsche’s use of it in The Anti-Christ, “pulchrum est paucorum hominum.” Beauty is for the few. By this he meant that appreciation of the highest arts is for the intellectually elite.
