Every Attainment, Every Step Forward In Knowledge,

I Listened For The Echo, And I Heard Only Praise —

A Person Must Have A Good Memory To Keep The Promises He Has Made. A Person Must Have A Strong Imagination To Be Able To Have Pity. So Closely Is Morality Tied To The Quality Of The Intellect.

Today A Man Of Knowledge Might Well Feel As Though He Were God Transformed Into An Animal.

The Soul Must Have Its Chosen Sewers To Carry Away Its Ordure. This Function Is Performed By Persons, Relationships, Professions, The Fatherland, The World, Or Finally, For The Really Arrogant - I Mean Our Modern Pessimists - By The Good God Himself.

I Want To Learn More And More To See As Beautiful What Is Necessary In Things; Then I Shall Be One Of Those Who Make Things Beautiful. Amor Fati: Let That Be My Love Henceforth! I Do Not Want To Wage War Against What Is Ugly. I Do Not Want To Accuse; I Do Not Even Want To Accuse Those Who Accuse. Looking Away Shall Be My Only Negation. And All In All And On The Whole: Some Day I Wish To Be Only A Yes-sayer.
