“But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthword, downword, into the dark, the deep - into evil.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Of all that is written, I love only what a person hath written with his blood. Write with blood, and thou wilt find that blood is spirit.
It is no easy task to understand unfamiliar blood; I hate the reading idlers.
He who knoweth the reader, doeth nothing more for the reader. Another century of readers--and spirit itself will stink.
Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it even becometh populace.
He that writeth in blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but learnt by heart.
In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route thou must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken to should be big and tall.
The atmosphere rare and pure, danger near and the spirit full of a joyful wickedness: thus are things well matched.
I want to have goblins about me, for I am courageous. The courage which scareth away ghosts, createth for itself goblins--it wanteth to laugh.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Like many others of the younger generation, for Magda and Fritz the last years of the sixties were the utopian meaning of paradise on earth, the more so for Magda who had graduated with honours. She had based a part of her thesis on the philosophical perspective of the Expressionist movement, particularly what the philosopher Nietzsche wrote in his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, in which, amongst other things, he stated: ''What does my shadow matter?... Let it run after me!... I shall out-run it...'' And that's what Magda wanted to do with her life: declare herself independent from conventional thought and from past memories.”
― Anton Sammut, Memories of Recurrent Echoes

“Can you give yourself your own evil and your own good and hang your own will over yourself as a law? Can you be your own judge and avenger of your law? Terrible it is to be alone with the judge and avenger of one's own law. Thus is a star thrown out into the void and into the icy breath of solitude. Today you are still suffering from the many being one: today your courage and your hopes are still whole. But the time will come when solitude will make you weary, when your pride will double up and your courage gnash its teeth. And you will cry, "I am alone!" The time will come when that which seems high to you will no longer be in sight, and that which seems low will be all-too-near; even what seems sublime to you will frighten you like a ghost And you will cry, "All is false!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Portable Nietzsche

“Ah, I cast indeed my net into their sea, and meant to catch good fish; but always did I draw up the head of some ancient God.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“My formula is Amor fati: ... not only to bear up under every necessity, but to love it.

Semboyanku ialah Amor fati: ... tidak saja tabah menanggung segala keharusan (penderitaan), melainkan juga mencintainya.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“If, however, thou hast a suffering friend, then be a resting-place for his suffering; like a hard bed, however, a camp-bed: thus wilt thou serve him best.
And if a friend doeth thee wrong, then say: "I forgive thee what thou hast done unto me; that thou hast done it unto THYSELF, however--how could I forgive that!"
Thus speaketh all great love: it surpasseth even forgiveness and pity.
One should hold fast one's heart; for when one letteth it go, how quickly doth one's head run away!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Back then you carried your ashes to the mountain; would you now carry your fire into the alley?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Ik houd van hem, die vrij van geest en vrij van hart is: aldus is zijn hoofd slechts het ingewand van zijn hart; zijn hart echter drijft hem tot ondergang.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“the one who had lost the world attains its own world”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“This cup wants to become empty again, and Zarathustra wants to become human again.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Zarathustra is the prophet of the Church of the Serpent. He himself was distinctly serpentine. Nietzsche is one of the snake philosophers. He has venom towards the weak and the meek. He has the fierce bite of knowledge. We all need the Serpent’s Kiss if we wish to become enlightened. You must poison your old self if you wish to find your new self, your higher self. Your old views are poisonous. Poison must meet poison.”
― David Sinclair, The Church of the Serpent: The Philosophy of the Snake and Attaining Transcendent Knowledge

“And when a person goeth through fire for his teaching -- what doth that prove! It is more, verily, when out of one's own burning cometh one's own teaching!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Zarathustra left his home and the lake of his home and went into the mountains. Here he enjoyed his spirit and his solitude and for ten years he did not tire of it.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“I am weary of my wisdom, like a bee that has gathered too much honey. I need hands that reach out.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“If you fulfil the pattern that is peculiar to yourself, you have loved yourself, you have accumulated and have abundance; you bestow virtue then because you have luster. ~Carl Jung, Zarathustra Seminar, Page 502”
― Carl Jung

“Would that I were wiser! Would that I were wise from the very heart, like my serpent!
But I am asking the impossible. Therefore do I ask my pride to go always with my wisdom!
And if my wisdom should some day forsake me:-- alas! it loveth to fly away!--may my pride then fly with my folly!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Values did man only assign to things in order to maintain himself -- he created only the significance of things, a human significance! Therefore, calleth he himself "man", that is, the valuator.

Valuing is creating: hear it, ye creating ones! Valuation itself is the treasure and jewel of the valued things.

Through valuation only is there value; and without valuation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, ye creating ones!

Change of values -- that is, change of the creating ones. Always doth he destroy who hath to be a creator.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Similes, are all names of good and evil; they do not speak out, they only hint. A fool who seeketh knowledge from them!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me!
And also in discerning do I feel only my will’s procreating and evolving delight; and if there be innocence in my knowledge, it is because there is will to procreation in it.
Away from God and Gods did this will allure me; what would there be to create if there were â€� Gods!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Since humanity came into being, man hath enjoyed himself too little: that alone, my brethren, is our original sin!
And when we learn better to enjoy ourselves, then do we unlearn best to give pain unto others, and to contrive pain.
Therefore do I wash the hand that hath helped the sufferer; therefore do I wipe also my soul.
For in seeing the sufferer suffering â€� thereof was I ashamed on account of his shame; and in helping him, sorely did I wound his pride.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Spirit is life which itself cutteth into life: by its own torture doth it increase its own knowledge,--did ye know that before?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Tis night: now only do all songs of the loving ones awake. And my soul also is the song of a loving one.

Something unappeased, unappeasable, is within me; it longeth to find expression. A craving for love is within me, which speaketh itself the language of love.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Ah, there are so many things betwixt heaven and earth of which only the poets have dreamed!

And especially ABOVE the heavens: for all Gods are poet-symbolisations, poet-sophistications!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Some fo too late and some go too early. [...] Go at the right time - thus spake Zarathustra.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, Heaven Has No Favorites

“Las palabras más silenciosas son las que traen la tempestad. Pensamientos que caminan con pies de paloma dirigen el mundo.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Asi Hablo Zaratustra

“It is night: now do all leaping fountains speak louder. And my soul too is a leaping fountain.
It is night: only now do all songs of lovers awaken. And my soul too is the song of a lover.
Something unquenched, unquenchable, is in me, that wants to speak out. A craving for love is in me, that itself speaks the language of love.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“As long as men have existed, man has enjoyed himself too little: that alone, my brothers, is our original sin!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Plăcerea vrea eternitate oricărui lucru, ea vrea adîncă, grea eternitate.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“One thing alone was certain, and this became the leitmotif of this remarkable myth of the Brahmin's son Siddhartha, who sets off on a journey to try and discover the truth about his life: Place no credence in those who teach wisdom, for you can only attain wisdom through your own life and your own sacrifices. By contrast, if you follow the former path, all you will ever be is at best a good student, who in turn becomes a teacher who has nothing to impart about his own experience - except for knowledge that is of little value.
That insight undoubtedly had more of Nietzsche's Zarathustra about it than Buddha. 'Don't follow me, follow yourself.' For it was not a question of renouncing the Self but precisely about finding it. This was a very Western line of thought. The only things that were to be left behind were the idols that feigned a truth they did not possess. This also included smashing false self-images. Individualism that had disconnected itself from the totality of thing was an aberration. The Enlightenment image of humans as masters of nature was a lie. Siddhartha finds himself faced by a series of pure graven images - all of which he must destroy in order to become himself.”
― Gunnar Decker, Hesse: The Wanderer and His Shadow
