"Too bad! What? Isn't he going back?"
"Yes, But you understand him badly when you complain. He is going back like anybody who wants to attempt a big jumb."
Friedrich Nietzsche
I say unto you: One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The soul that has the longest ladder and reaches down
deepest... the most comprehensive soul, which can run and stray and roam
farthest within itself; the most necessary soul that plunges joyously
into chance; the soul that, having being, dives into becoming; the soul
that has, but wants to want and will; the soul
that flees itself and catches up with itself in the widest circles; the
wisest soul that folly exhorts most sweetly; the soul that loves itself
most, in which all things have their sweep and countersweep and ebband
flood...
Friedrich Nietzsche
- Note: My reading of FN notices that he does not see those of us who have, "the longest ladder and reaches down deepest..." as a nationality or a racial group but as a random sprinkling of individuals across the world who refuse to believe that what they have become so far is all that they are, and who feel compelled to find out.

The man who would not belong in the
mass needs only cease being comfortable with himself; he should follow
his conscience which shouts at him: "Be yourslef! You are not really
all that which you do. think and desire now.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from
being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often,
and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the
privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The spirit of the poet craves spectators...
even if only buffaloes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
