Why I am a Destiny :: Nietzsche
Posted in Quotes, tagged Ecce Homo, Nietzsche, Philosophy on May 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
1 I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful — of a crisis like no other before on earth, of the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified. I am not a man, [...]
O my brothers, break, break the old tablets!

For the old gods, after all, things came to an end long ago; and verily, they had a good gay godlike end. They did not end in a “twilight,” though this lie is told. Instead: one day they laughed themselves to death. That happened when the most godless word issued from one of the gods [...]

But there is something in me that I call courage; that has so far slain my every discouragement. This courage finally bade me stand still and speak: “Dwarf! It is I or you!” For courage is the best slayer, courage which attacks; for in every attack there is playing and brass. Man, however, is the [...]

BEFORE SUNRISE The world is deep – and deeper than day had ever been aware. Not everything may be put into words in the presence of day. But the day is coming, so let us part. O heaven above me, pure and deep! You abyss of light! Seeing you, I tremble with godlike desires. To [...]
Beyond Good and Evil :: 296 (my written and painted thoughts)
Posted in Quotes, tagged Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche, Philosophy on April 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Alas! what are you, after all, my written and painted thoughts! Not long ago you were so variegated, young and malicious, so full of thorns and secret spices, that you made me sneeze and laugh — and now? You have already doffed your novelty, and some of you, I fear, are ready to become truths, [...]

‘We have invented happiness,’ say the last men, and they blink. And thus spoke Zarathustra to the people: “The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come for man to plant the seed of his highest hope. His soil is still rich enough. But one day this soil will [...]
Zarathustra goes to Heaven

Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon drop off. At one time Zarathustra too cast his delusion beyond man, like all the afterworldly. The work of a suffering and tortured god, the world then seemed to me. A dream the world then seemed to me, and the fiction of a god: colored smoke [...]

I love him who chastens his god because he loves his god: for he must perish of the wrath of his god. I love him whose soul is deep, even in being wounded, and who can perish of a small experience: thus he goes gladly over the bridge. [Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra]

The madman.- Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I seek God! I seek God!” -As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Has he got lost? [...]

**** Kaufmann, following the precedent of Crane Brinton’s Nietzsche (1965), George A. Morgan, Jr.’s What Nietzsche Means (1941) and the English version of Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West (1926-28), translates “Apollinisch” as “Apollinian”—rather than “Apollonian.” Accordingly, here, Golffing’s “Apollonian” has been changed to “Apollinian.” **** 9 Everything that rises to the surface in [...]
