And once again shall ye have become friends unto me, and children of one hope: then will I be with you for the third time, to celebrate the great noontide with you.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2079

—Who when departing called out: ‘Too long have I sat with lonesomeness; there have I unlearned silence!’ THAT hast thou learned now—surely?

Zarathustra the dancer, Zarathustra the light one, who beckoneth with his pinions, one ready for flight, beckoning unto all birds, ready and prepared, a blissfully light-spirited one:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1265

Its course will it go upon my feet, mine old Will; hard of heart is its nature and invulnerable.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3197

Do like unto the wind when it rusheth forth from its mountain-caves: unto its own piping will it dance; the seas tremble and leap under its footsteps.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 291

The dream—and diction—of a God, did the world then seem to me; coloured vapours before the eyes of a divinely dissatisfied one.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3100

“Ye higher men,”—so blinketh the populace—“there are no higher men, we are all equal; man is man, before God—we are all equal!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2264

But so wisheth our type; and I love those who do not wish to preserve themselves, the down-going ones do I love with mine entire love: for they go beyond.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2476

At tragedies, bull-fights, and crucifixions hath he hitherto been happiest on earth; and when he invented his hell, behold, that was his heaven on earth.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1582

And when I came out of my solitude, and for the first time passed over this bridge, then I could not trust mine eyes, but looked again and again, and said at last: “That is an ear! An ear as big as a man!” I looked still more attentively—and actually there did move under the ear something that was pitiably small and poor and slim. And in truth this immense ear was perched on a small thin stalk—the stalk, however, was a man!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3356

That may be the case, or it may be otherwise; and if in truth the ass did not dance that evening, there nevertheless happened then greater and rarer wonders than the dancing of an ass would have been. In short, as the proverb of Zarathustra saith: “What doth it matter!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2619

—For in laughter is all evil present, but it is sanctified and absolved by its own bliss:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2128

—As if delicate hands carried a casket towards me—a casket open for the delectation of modest adoring eyes: thus did the world present itself before me to-day:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1169

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

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1484

Disdainfully doth the buffalo glance thereat, nigh to the sand with its soul, nigher still to the thicket, nighest, however, to the swamp.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 200

“A living man and a dead one,” said Zarathustra. “Give me something to eat and drink, I forgot it during the day. He that feedeth the hungry refresheth his own soul, saith wisdom.”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1502

Thou drinkest copiously at the sea: that doth thine embittered eloquence betray! In sooth, for a dog of the depth, thou takest thy nourishment too much from the surface!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2790

I divine thee well: thou hast become the enchanter of all the world; but for thyself thou hast no lie or artifice left,—thou art disenchanted to thyself!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3413

—It wanteth love, it wanteth hate, it is over-rich, it bestoweth, it throweth away, it beggeth for some one to take from it, it thanketh the taker, it would fain be hated,—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3071

Do speak unto me of my gardens, of my Happy Isles, of my new beautiful race—why do ye not speak unto me thereof?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3534

Here we have a record of Zarathustra’s avowal of optimism, as also the important statement concerning “Chance” or “Accident” (verse 27). Those who are familiar with Nietzsche’s philosophy will not require to be told what an important role his doctrine of chance plays in his teaching. The Giant Chance has hitherto played with the puppet “man,”—this is the fact he cannot contemplate with equanimity. Man shall now exploit chance, he says again and again, and make it fall on its knees before him! (See verse 33 in “On the Olive-Mount”, and verses 9–10 in “The Bedwarfing Virtue”).

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1177

Oh, the misery of all bestowers! Oh, the darkening of my sun! Oh, the craving to crave! Oh, the violent hunger in satiety!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3218

Thus spake the old magician, looked cunningly about him, and then seized his harp.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2278

O my brethren, is not everything AT PRESENT IN FLUX? Have not all railings and gangways fallen into the water? Who would still HOLD ON to “good” and “evil”?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 822

Another selfishness is there, an all-too-poor and hungry kind, which would always steal—the selfishness of the sick, the sickly selfishness.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 211

Companions, the creator seeketh, not corpses—and not herds or believers either. Fellow-creators the creator seeketh—those who grave new values on new tables.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2085

Uprightly and openly mayest thou here talk to all things: and verily, it soundeth as praise in their ears, for one to talk to all things—directly!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1369

Half-open doors are ye, at which grave-diggers wait. And this is YOUR reality: “Everything deserveth to perish.”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3130

It is not enough for me that the lightning no longer doeth harm. I do not wish to conduct it away: it shall learn—to work for ME.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2735

And yet! And yet—how little was lacking for them to caress each other, that dog and that lonesome one! Are they not both—lonesome ones!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2431

Why so soft, so submissive and yielding? Why is there so much negation and abnegation in your hearts? Why is there so little fate in your looks?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2678

Happiness—how indeed could one find happiness among such buried-alive and solitary ones! Must I yet seek the last happiness on the Happy Isles, and far away among forgotten seas?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1181

Such revenge doth mine abundance think of: such mischief welleth out of my lonesomeness.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3214

—Like a new strange mummery in which mine evil spirit, the melancholy devil, delighteth:—I love Zarathustra, so doth it often seem to me, for the sake of mine evil spirit.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3133

Do not will anything beyond your power: there is a bad falseness in those who will beyond their power.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2740

“Thou art mistaken,” said Zarathustra sympathetically, and held him fast; “thou art mistaken. Here thou art not at home, but in my domain, and therein shall no one receive any hurt.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 840

Let it not fly away from the earthly and beat against eternal walls with its wings! Ah, there hath always been so much flown-away virtue!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1524

When the fire-dog heard this, he could no longer endure to listen to me. Abashed did he draw in his tail, said “bow-wow!” in a cowed voice, and crept down into his cave.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1287

Yea, even when it commandeth itself, then also must it atone for its commanding. Of its own law must it become the judge and avenger and victim.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 331

Instruments and playthings are sense and spirit: behind them there is still the Self. The Self seeketh with the eyes of the senses, it hearkeneth also with the ears of the spirit.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2482

—That all that is baddest is the best POWER, and the hardest stone for the highest creator; and that man must become better AND badder:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1072

Toilsomely did my spirit mount stairs, and cautiously; alms of delight were its refreshment; on the staff did life creep along with the blind one.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2231

Where all becoming seemed to me dancing of Gods, and wantoning of Gods, and the world unloosed and unbridled and fleeing back to itself:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1713

Then, when it was about midnight, Zarathustra went his way over the ridge of the isle, that he might arrive early in the morning at the other coast; because there he meant to embark. For there was a good roadstead there, in which foreign ships also liked to anchor: those ships took many people with them, who wished to cross over from the Happy Isles. So when Zarathustra thus ascended the mountain, he thought on the way of his many solitary wanderings from youth onwards, and how many mountains and ridges and summits he had already climbed.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 146

I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2074

—An old grim-beard of a God, a jealous one, forgot himself in such wise:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2824

He himself found I no longer when I found his cot—but two wolves found I therein, which howled on account of his death,—for all animals loved him. Then did I haste away.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2664

And when he hastily looked around and stood up, behold, there stood the soothsayer beside him, the same whom he had once given to eat and drink at his table, the proclaimer of the great weariness, who taught: “All is alike, nothing is worth while, the world is without meaning, knowledge strangleth.” But his face had changed since then; and when Zarathustra looked into his eyes, his heart was startled once more: so much evil announcement and ashy-grey lightnings passed over that countenance.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3393

—A midnight-lyre, a bell-frog, which no one understandeth, but which MUST speak before deaf ones, ye higher men! For ye do not understand me!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra
