Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1571

Verily, THEY THEMSELVES DIDST THOU DREAM, thine enemies: that was thy sorest dream.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 350

Let thy virtue be too high for the familiarity of names, and if thou must speak of it, be not ashamed to stammer about it.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2367

O my brethren, am I then cruel? But I say: What falleth, that shall one also push!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3579

What modern men desire above all, is peace and the cessation of pain. But neither great races nor great castes have ever been built up in this way. “Who still wanteth to rule?” Zarathustra asks in the “Prologue”. “Who still wanteth to obey? Both are too burdensome.” This is rapidly becoming everybody’s attitude to-day.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2240

I taught them all MY poetisation and aspiration: to compose and collect into unity what is fragment in man, and riddle and fearful chance;—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2722

But what good did it do! Always didst thou prick us anew in heart and ear with thy sayings. Then did we say at last: What doth it matter how he look!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1010

And by still greater ones than any of the Saviours must ye be saved, my brethren, if ye would find the way to freedom!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3549

A philanthropy that sacrifices the minority of the present-day for the majority constituting posterity, completely evades his mental grasp, and Nietzsche’s philosophy, because it declares Christian values to be a danger to the future of our kind, is therefore shelved as brutal, cold, and hard (see Note on Chapter XXXVI.).

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1327

As the ox ought he to do; and his happiness should smell of the earth, and not of contempt for the earth.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1890

Here am I still like a cock in a strange farm-yard, at which even the hens peck: but on that account I am not unfriendly to the hens.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1982

They commiserate also my accidents and chances:—but MY word saith: “Suffer the chance to come unto me: innocent is it as a little child!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2385

Beasts of prey, are they: in their “working”—there is even plundering, in their “earning”—there is even overreaching! Therefore shall they have it hard!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 368

Ah! my brother, hast thou never seen a virtue backbite and stab itself?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2432

And if ye will not be fates and inexorable ones, how can ye one day— conquer with me?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3033

Thus spake Zarathustra, and laughed with love and mischief. After this greeting his guests bowed once more and were reverentially silent; the king on the right, however, answered him in their name.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 272

Many honours I want not, nor great treasures: they excite the spleen. But it is bad sleeping without a good name and a little treasure.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3543

If we now read what the fool says to Zarathustra, and note the tricks of speech he has borrowed from him: if we carefully follow the attitude he assumes, we shall understand why Zarathustra finally interrupts him. “Stop this at once,” Zarathustra cries, “long have thy speech and thy species disgusted me.... Out of love alone shall my contempt and my warning bird take wing; BUT NOT OUT OF THE SWAMP!” It were well if this discourse were taken to heart by all those who are too ready to associate Nietzsche with lesser and noiser men,—with mountebanks and mummers.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1365

Indeed, how would ye be ABLE to believe, ye divers-coloured ones!—ye who are pictures of all that hath ever been believed!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1913

So much kindness, so much weakness do I see. So much justice and pity, so much weakness.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1691

And I answered: “They mocked me when I found and walked in mine own path; and certainly did my feet then tremble.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 590

To whom chastity is difficult, it is to be dissuaded: lest it become the road to hell—to filth and lust of soul.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3511

An important feature of Nietzsche’s interpretation of Life is disclosed in this discourse. As Buckle suggests in his “Influence of Women on the Progress of Knowledge”, the scientific spirit of the investigator is both helped and supplemented by the latter’s emotions and personality, and the divorce of all emotionalism and individual temperament from science is a fatal step towards sterility. Zarathustra abjures all those who would fain turn an IMPERSONAL eye upon nature and contemplate her phenomena with that pure objectivity to which the scientific idealists of to-day would so much like to attain. He accuses such idealists of hypocrisy and guile; he says they lack innocence in their desires and therefore slander all desiring.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 740

A small revenge is humaner than no revenge at all. And if the punishment be not also a right and an honour to the transgressor, I do not like your punishing.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2690

—In good spirits and joyful, because this day hath come to an end! And thou thyself shalt dance to my lays, as my dancing-bear.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1644

That life may be fair to behold, its game must be well played; for that purpose, however, it needeth good actors.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 638

Creating ones were first of all peoples, and only in late times individuals; verily, the individual himself is still the latest creation.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 9

“Never yet hath there been a Superman. Naked have I seen both of them, the greatest and the smallest man:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1712

“He who climbeth on the highest mountains, laugheth at all tragic plays and tragic realities.”—ZARATHUSTRA, I., “Reading and Writing.”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 477

All ye to whom rough labour is dear, and the rapid, new, and strange—ye put up with yourselves badly; your diligence is flight, and the will to self-forgetfulness.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1534

To be sure we have harvested: but why have all our fruits become rotten and brown? What was it fell last night from the evil moon?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 526

Just see these superfluous ones! Sick are they always; they vomit their bile and call it a newspaper. They devour one another, and cannot even digest themselves.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2744

When however the trodden one had heard the name of Zarathustra he was transformed. “What happeneth unto me!” he exclaimed, “WHO preoccupieth me so much in this life as this one man, namely Zarathustra, and that one animal that liveth on blood, the leech?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1540

Thus did Zarathustra hear a soothsayer speak; and the foreboding touched his heart and transformed him. Sorrowfully did he go about and wearily; and he became like unto those of whom the soothsayer had spoken.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1383

But it was a liar with its pregnancy; and sooner will I believe in the man in the moon than in the woman.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2935

“And why is it not with the rich?” asked Zarathustra temptingly, while he kept back the kine which sniffed familiarly at the peaceful one.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1894

They shout to one another: “What is this gloomy cloud about to do to us? Let us see that it doth not bring a plague upon us!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2711

When the kings heard this, they beat upon their breasts and said with one voice: “We are recognised!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1629

“Very good,” said the hunchback; “and with pupils one may well tell tales out of school.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 872

Why did I startle in my dream, so that I awoke? Did not a child come to me, carrying a mirror?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 154

They dislike, therefore, to hear of ‘contempt’ of themselves. So I will appeal to their pride.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3607

“I am a law only for mine own,” he says emphatically, “I am not a law for all.” It is of the greatest importance to humanity that its highest individuals should be allowed to attain to their full development; for, only by means of its heroes can the human race be led forward step by step to higher and yet higher levels.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 781

Every one regardeth dying as a great matter: but as yet death is not a festival. Not yet have people learned to inaugurate the finest festivals.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1509

And just own to it! Little had ever taken place when thy noise and smoke passed away. What, if a city did become a mummy, and a statue lay in the mud!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 461

They have not yet become men, those terrible ones: may they preach desistance from life, and pass away themselves!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2104

Everything among them talketh, everything is betrayed. And what was once called the secret and secrecy of profound souls, belongeth to-day to the street-trumpeters and other butterflies.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2008

The God of the Hosts of war is not the God of the golden bar; the prince proposeth, but the shopman—disposeth!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3641

These literally shadow the most daring movements in the science and art of their generation; they completely lose their bearings and actually find themselves, in the end, without a way, a goal, or a home. “On every surface have I already sat!...I become thin, I am almost equal to a shadow!” At last, in despair, such men do indeed cry out: “Nothing is true; all is permitted,” and then they become mere wreckage. “Too much hath become clear unto me: now nothing mattereth to me any more.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 977

“Here are priests: but although they are mine enemies, pass them quietly and with sleeping swords!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3157

A new child: oh, how much new filth hath also come into the world! Go apart! He who hath given birth shall wash his soul!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2116

Their stiff wise men: I call them wise, not stiff—thus did I learn to slur over words.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra
