“ I am law only for my kind, I am no law for all. But whoever belongs with me must have strong bones and light feet, be eager for war and festivals, not gloomy, no dreamer, as ready for what is most difficult as for their festival, healthy and wholesome. The best belongs to my kind and to me: the best food, the purest sky, the strongest thoughts.

“ For believe me, the secret of the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to Live Dangerously!
Nietzsche, The Gay Science
“ ‘This is MY way; where is yours?’- thus i answered those who asked me ‘the way.’ For The Way- that does not exist.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 3rd part
“ Regarding truths, the artist has a weaker morality than the thinker. They definitely do not want to be deprived of the splendid and profound interpretations of life, and resists the sober, simple methods and results. Apparently they fight for the higher dignity and significance of man; in truth, they do not want to give up the most effective presuppositions of their art: the fantastic, mythical, uncertain, extreme, the sense for the symbolic, the overestimation of the person, the faith in some miraculous element in the genius. Thus they consider the continued existence of their kind of creation more important than scientific devotion to the truth in every form, however plain.
Nietzsche: Human, All-Too-Human
“ There is no morality that alone makes moral, and every ethic that affirms itself exclusively kills too much good strength and costs humanity to dearly. The deviants, who are so frequently the inventive and fruitful ones, shall no longer be sacrificed; it shall not even be considered infamous to deviate from morality, in thought and deed; numerous new experiments of life and society shall be made; a tremendous burden of bad conscience shall be removed from the world- these most general aims should be recognized and promoted by all who are honest and seek truth.
Nietzsche, The Dawn
“
Where solitude ceases the market place begins; and where the market place begins the noise of the great actors and the buzzing of the poisonous flies begins too.
In the world even the best things amount to nothing without someone to make a show of them: the great men the people call these showmen.
Little do people comprehend the great- that is, the creating. But they have a mind for all showmen and actors of great things.
Around the inventors of new values the world revolves: invisibly it revolves. But around the actors revolve the people and fame: that is ‘the way of the world’
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1st Part
“ This nausea suffocates me: we kings ourselves have become false, overhung and disguised with ancient yellowed grandfathers pomp, showpieces for the most stupid and clever and anyone who haggles for power today. We are not the first and yet must represent them: it is this deception that has come to disgust and nauseate us. We have tried to get away from the rabble, all the scream-throats and scribbling bluebottles, the shopkeepers’ stench, the ambitious wriggling, the foul breath- phew for living among the rabble! Phew for representing the first among the rabble! Nausea! Nausea! Nausea! What do we kings matter now?
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 4th Part
“ One often contradicts an opinion when it is really only the tone in which it has been presented that is unsympathetic
Nietzsche- Human, All-Too-Human
“ In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the haughtiest and most mendacious minute of “world history”- yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die.
Nietzsche, On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense
“ This crown of him who laughs, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have put on this crown, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy. Nobody else have I found strong enough for this today.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 4th part
