Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2164

Bad: thus doth it call all that is spirit-broken, and sordidly-servile—constrained, blinking eyes, depressed hearts, and the false submissive style, which kisseth with broad cowardly lips.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3126

Nay! Nay! Three times Nay! Always more, always better ones of your type shall succumb,—for ye shall always have it worse and harder. Thus only—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1176

It is my poverty that my hand never ceaseth bestowing; it is mine envy that I see waiting eyes and the brightened nights of longing.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2386

Better beasts of prey shall they thus become, subtler, cleverer, MORE MAN-LIKE: for man is the best beast of prey.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1954

For he suffereth it not if a gnat wanteth to buzz, or even two of them; also the lanes maketh he lonesome, so that the moonlight is afraid there at night.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 449

Also to the good, a noble one standeth in the way: and even when they call him a good man, they want thereby to put him aside.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1297

Rather would I succumb than disown this one thing; and verily, where there is succumbing and leaf-falling, lo, there doth Life sacrifice itself—for power!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1757

Upwards:—although it sat upon me, half-dwarf, half-mole; paralysed, paralysing; dripping lead in mine ear, and thoughts like drops of lead into my brain.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3617

Zarathustra steps on him unawares, and the slave of science, bleeding from the violence he has done to himself by his self-imposed task, speaks proudly of his little sphere of knowledge—his little hand’s breadth of ground on Zarathustra’s territory, philosophy. “Where mine honesty ceaseth,” says the true scientific specialist, “there am I blind and want also to be blind.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1471

When Zarathustra so spake, his disciple resented it, but was silent. And Zarathustra also was silent; and his eye directed itself inwardly, as if it gazed into the far distance. At last he sighed and drew breath.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1676

This do I speak unto you in parable. Yesterday at the stillest hour did the ground give way under me: the dream began.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3053

“My guests, ye higher men, I will speak plain language and plainly with you. It is not for YOU that I have waited here in these mountains.”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2801

O Zarathustra, I seek a genuine one, a right one, a simple one, an unequivocal one, a man of perfect honesty, a vessel of wisdom, a saint of knowledge, a great man!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1532

A doctrine appeared, a faith ran beside it: ‘All is empty, all is alike, all hath been!’

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1748

When it got abroad among the sailors that Zarathustra was on board the ship—for a man who came from the Happy Isles had gone on board along with him,—there was great curiosity and expectation. But Zarathustra kept silent for two days, and was cold and deaf with sadness; so that he neither answered looks nor questions. On the evening of the second day, however, he again opened his ears, though he still kept silent: for there were many curious and dangerous things to be heard on board the ship, which came from afar, and was to go still further. Zarathustra, however, was fond of all those who make distant voyages, and dislike to live without danger. And behold! when listening, his own tongue was at last loosened, and the ice of his heart broke. Then did he begin to speak thus:

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1836

O afternoon of my life! O happiness before eventide! O haven upon high seas! O peace in uncertainty! How I distrust all of you!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 470

And let this be the teaching of your virtue: “Thou shalt slay thyself! Thou shalt steal away from thyself!”—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2471

Every moment beginneth existence, around every ‘Here’ rolleth the ball ‘There.’ The middle is everywhere. Crooked is the path of eternity.”—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1832

Sufficiently formidable unto me hath thy weight ever been: but one day shall I yet find the strength and the lion’s voice which will call thee up!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3095

Thus spake the king on the right and wondered; the ass however, with ill-will, said YE-A to his remark. This however was the beginning of that long repast which is called “The Supper” in the history-books. At this there was nothing else spoken of but THE HIGHER MAN.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3541

Here we find Nietzsche confronted with his extreme opposite, with him therefore for whom he is most frequently mistaken by the unwary. “Zarathustra’s ape” he is called in the discourse. He is one of those at whose hands Nietzsche had to suffer most during his life-time, and at whose hands his philosophy has suffered most since his death. In this respect it may seem a little trivial to speak of extremes meeting; but it is wonderfully apt.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1268

Yea, thou art still for me the demolisher of all graves: Hail to thee, my Will! And only where there are graves are there resurrections.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1016

At you, ye virtuous ones, laughed my beauty to-day. And thus came its voice unto me: “They want—to be paid besides!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2327

Because they learned badly and not the best, and everything too early and everything too fast; because they ATE badly: from thence hath resulted their ruined stomach;—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1386

Nay, I like him not, that tom-cat on the roofs! Hateful unto me are all that slink around half-closed windows!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2183

Such roving about christeneth itself “brotherly love”; with these words hath there hitherto been the best lying and dissembling, and especially by those who have been burdensome to every one.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1081

For this is OUR height and our home: too high and steep do we here dwell for all uncleanly ones and their thirst.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 569

Even when thou art gentle towards them, they still feel themselves despised by thee; and they repay thy beneficence with secret maleficence.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 668

“He who seeketh may easily get lost himself. All isolation is wrong”: so say the herd. And long didst thou belong to the herd.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1933

But why talk I, when no one hath MINE ears! And so will I shout it out unto all the winds:

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3128

Towards the few, the long, the remote go forth my soul and my seeking: of what account to me are your many little, short miseries!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2509

‘Now do I die and disappear,’ wouldst thou say, ‘and in a moment I am nothing. Souls are as mortal as bodies.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3588

He never laid claim to a very profound knowledge of biology, and his criticism is far more valuable as the attitude of a fresh mind than as that of a specialist towards the question. Moreover, in his objections many difficulties are raised which are not settled by an appeal to either of the men above mentioned. We have given Nietzsche’s definition of life in the Note on Chapter LVI., par. 10.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2849

Too much miscarried with him, this potter who had not learned thoroughly! That he took revenge on his pots and creations, however, because they turned out badly—that was a sin against GOOD TASTE.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2199

To chew and digest everything, however—that is the genuine swine-nature! Ever to say YE-A—that hath only the ass learnt, and those like it!—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 313

From their misery they sought escape, and the stars were too remote for them. Then they sighed: “O that there were heavenly paths by which to steal into another existence and into happiness!” Then they contrived for themselves their by-paths and bloody draughts!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3324

Perhaps I dare not believe in God: certain it is however, that God seemeth to me most worthy of belief in this form.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2345

To the incurable shall one not seek to be a physician: thus teacheth Zarathustra:—so shall ye pass away!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1077

And yet must I learn to approach thee more modestly: far too violently doth my heart still flow towards thee:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2273

“OVER the stream all is stable, all the values of things, the bridges and bearings, all ‘good’ and ‘evil’: these are all STABLE!”—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 940

O my friends! Thus speaketh the discerning one: shame, shame, shame—that is the history of man!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3103

Only since he lay in the grave have ye again arisen. Now only cometh the great noontide, now only doth the higher man become—master!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 868

Verily, with other eyes, my brethren, shall I then seek my lost ones; with another love shall I then love you.”—ZARATHUSTRA, I., “The Bestowing Virtue.”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2360

Where the strong are weak, where the noble are all-too-gentle—there buildeth it its loathsome nest; the parasite liveth where the great have small sore places.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 809

In your dying shall your spirit and your virtue still shine like an evening after-glow around the earth: otherwise your dying hath been unsatisfactory.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2971

With thee did I unlearn the belief in words and worths and in great names. When the devil casteth his skin, doth not his name also fall away? It is also skin. The devil himself is perhaps—skin.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3507

In the “Spirit of Gravity”, he actually cries:—“Neither a good nor a bad taste, but MY taste, of which I have no longer either shame or secrecy.”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2006

“I serve, thou servest, we serve”—so prayeth all appointable virtue to the prince: that the merited star may at last stick on the slender breast!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1609

“Penalty,” so calleth itself revenge. With a lying word it feigneth a good conscience.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2333

O my brethren, a fresh blustering wind cometh Zarathustra unto all way-weary ones; many noses will he yet make sneeze!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra
