Friedrich Nietzsche (English) のテレグラム投稿

“We are responsible to ourselves for our own existence; consequently we want to be the true helmsman of this existence and refuse to allow our existence to resemble a mindless act of chance.”

- Untimely Meditations

"You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?"

- Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“We were friends and have become estranged. But this was right, and we do not want to conceal and obscure it from ourselves as if we had reason to feel ashamed. We are two ships each of which has its goal and course; our paths may cross and we may celebrate a feast together, as we did—and then the good ships rested so quietly in one harbour and one sunshine that it may have looked as if they had reached their goal and as if they had one goal. But then the almighty force of our tasks drove us apart again into different seas and sunny zones, and perhaps we shall never see each other again; perhaps we shall meet again but fail to recognise each other: our exposure to different seas and suns has changed us.”

- The Gay Science

“During the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every profession is chosen and commenced as a means to an end but continued as an end in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent of all acts of stupidity.”

- Human, All Too Human

“Love exposes the great and hidden qualities in the lover - what is rare and exceptional about him: to that extent it easily conceals what is ordinary.”

- Beyond Good and Evil

“Benefitting and hurting others are ways of exercising one’s power upon others; that is all one desires in such cases.”

- The Gay Science

“What? The aim of science should be to give men as much pleasure as and as little displeasure as possible? But what if pleasure and displeasure were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also have as much possible of the other?”

- The Gay Science

“A law-book never recites the utility, the grounds, the casuistical antecedents of a law: for if it did so it would lose the imperative tone, the “thou shall,” on which obedience is based.”

- The Antichrist

“Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.”

- Thus Spoke Zarathustra

"The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments."
