Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1501

“Up with thee, fire-dog, out of thy depth!” cried I, “and confess how deep that depth is! Whence cometh that which thou snortest up?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 991

Verily, rather would I see a shameless one than the distorted eyes of their shame and devotion!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 907

Could ye CREATE a God?—Then, I pray you, be silent about all Gods! But ye could well create the Superman.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3463

Where attempts have not been made to reconcile the two moralities, they may be described as follows:—All is GOOD in the noble morality which proceeds from strength, power, health, well-constitutedness, happiness, and awfulness; for, the motive force behind the people practising it is “the struggle for power.” The antithesis “good and bad” to this first class means the same as “noble” and “despicable.” “Bad” in the master-morality must be applied to the coward, to all acts that spring from weakness, to the man with “an eye to the main chance,” who would forsake everything in order to live.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 664

And as the world unrolled itself for him, so rolleth it together again for him in rings, as the growth of good through evil, as the growth of purpose out of chance.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1896

They cough when I speak: they think coughing an objection to strong winds—they divine nothing of the boisterousness of my happiness!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 656

Not only doth he lie, who speaketh contrary to his knowledge, but more so, he who speaketh contrary to his ignorance. And thus speak ye of yourselves in your intercourse, and belie your neighbour with yourselves.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1838

As he pusheth the best-beloved before him—tender even in severity, the jealous one—, so do I push this blissful hour before me.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2027

Woe to this great city!—And I would that I already saw the pillar of fire in which it will be consumed!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1834

Meanwhile do I sail along on uncertain seas; chance flattereth me, smooth-tongued chance; forward and backward do I gaze—, still see I no end.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2634

“O Zarathustra,” said they, “gazest thou out perhaps for thy happiness?”—“Of what account is my happiness!” answered he, “I have long ceased to strive any more for happiness, I strive for my work.”—“O Zarathustra,” said the animals once more, “that sayest thou as one who hath overmuch of good things. Liest thou not in a sky-blue lake of happiness?”—“Ye wags,” answered Zarathustra, and smiled, “how well did ye choose the simile! But ye know also that my happiness is heavy, and not like a fluid wave of water: it presseth me and will not leave me, and is like molten pitch.”—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3069

—For higher ones, stronger ones, triumphanter ones, merrier ones, for such as are built squarely in body and soul: LAUGHING LIONS must come!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3479

There are two lessons in this discourse: first, that in order to create one must be as a little child; secondly, that it is only through existing law and order that one attains to that height from which new law and new order may be promulgated.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3264

Unless it be,—unless it be—, do forgive an old recollection! Forgive me an old after-dinner song, which I once composed amongst daughters of the desert:—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1354

And with fifty mirrors around you, which flattered your play of colours, and repeated it!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2727

How they sighed, our fathers, when they saw on the wall brightly furbished, dried-up swords! Like those they thirsted for war. For a sword thirsteth to drink blood, and sparkleth with desire.”—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1278

Onward the river now carrieth your boat: it MUST carry it. A small matter if the rough wave foameth and angrily resisteth its keel!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 596

“One, is always too many about me”—thinketh the anchorite. “Always once one—that maketh two in the long run!”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2081

One thing is forsakenness, another matter is lonesomeness: THAT hast thou now learned! And that amongst men thou wilt ever be wild and strange:

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1105

But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1076

Almost too violently dost thou flow for me, thou fountain of delight! And often emptiest thou the goblet again, in wanting to fill it!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 841

Lead, like me, the flown-away virtue back to the earth—yea, back to body and life: that it may give to the earth its meaning, a human meaning!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1075

Oh, I have found it, my brethren! Here on the loftiest height bubbleth up for me the well of delight! And there is a life at whose waters none of the rabble drink with me!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3101

Now hath that old magician given us of his worst for our good, and lo! the good, pious pope there hath tears in his eyes, and hath quite embarked again upon the sea of melancholy.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2942

Nor, methinketh, hath thy stomach either: unto IT all such rage and hatred and foaming-over is repugnant. Thy stomach wanteth softer things: thou art not a butcher.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1936

Too tender, too yielding: so is your soil! But for a tree to become GREAT, it seeketh to twine hard roots around hard rocks!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 839

Remain true to the earth, my brethren, with the power of your virtue! Let your bestowing love and your knowledge be devoted to be the meaning of the earth! Thus do I pray and conjure you.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1587

And when mine eye fleeth from the present to the bygone, it findeth ever the same: fragments and limbs and fearful chances—but no men!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 67

Zarathustra was the first to see in the struggle between good and evil the essential wheel in the working of things. The translation of morality into the metaphysical, as force, cause, end in itself, was HIS work. But the very question suggests its own answer.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2098

I do not like even to inhale their breath; alas! that I have lived so long among their noise and bad breaths!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2455

Hardly, however, had Zarathustra spoken these words, when he fell down as one dead, and remained long as one dead. When however he again came to himself, then was he pale and trembling, and remained lying; and for long he would neither eat nor drink. This condition continued for seven days; his animals, however, did not leave him day nor night, except that the eagle flew forth to fetch food. And what it fetched and foraged, it laid on Zarathustra’s couch: so that Zarathustra at last lay among yellow and red berries, grapes, rosy apples, sweet-smelling herbage, and pine-cones. At his feet, however, two lambs were stretched, which the eagle had with difficulty carried off from their shepherds.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2765

When however Zarathustra had gone round a rock, then saw he on the same path, not far below him, a man who threw his limbs about like a maniac, and at last tumbled to the ground on his belly.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 432

When aloft, I find myself always alone. No one speaketh unto me; the frost of solitude maketh me tremble. What do I seek on the height?

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2080

O Zarathustra, everything do I know; and that thou wert MORE FORSAKEN amongst the many, thou unique one, than thou ever wert with me!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3443

This is MY morning, MY day beginneth: ARISE NOW, ARISE, THOU GREAT NOONTIDE!”—

Thus spake Zarathustra. The hunchback, however, had listened to the conversation and had covered his face during the time; but when he heard Zarathustra laugh, he looked up with curiosity, and said slowly:

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2165

And spurious wisdom: so doth it call all the wit that slaves, and hoary-headed and weary ones affect; and especially all the cunning, spurious-witted, curious-witted foolishness of priests!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2696

Better, verily, to live among anchorites and goatherds, than with our gilded, false, over-rouged populace—though it call itself ‘good society.’

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2243

—This did I call redemption; this alone taught I them to call redemption.—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2438

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 3405

Or a drop of dew? Or a fume and fragrance of eternity? Hear ye it not? Smell ye it not? Just now hath my world become perfect, midnight is also midday,—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 566

They think much about thee with their circumscribed souls—thou art always suspected by them! Whatever is much thought about is at last thought suspicious.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1119

Aloft will it build itself with columns and stairs—life itself: into remote distances would it gaze, and out towards blissful beauties— THEREFORE doth it require elevation!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1959

I, a—creeper? Never in my life did I creep before the powerful; and if ever I lied, then did I lie out of love. Therefore am I glad even in my winter-bed.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 2533

—Doth the giver not owe thanks because the receiver received? Is bestowing not a necessity? Is receiving not—pitying?”—

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, passage 1379

Alien to me, and a mockery, are the present-day men, to whom of late my heart impelled me; and exiled am I from fatherlands and motherlands.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra
