Author of quotes: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. Page 5

Did you sit alone with your misfortune?
Look don't sit out the egg, the basilisk egg
in the nest of eternal sorrow!

I am not a dog, but your prey, oh terrible catcher!

Haven't happiness slept all day long with a sweet dream?

up and up with their silent heat.

Only the winged one can love the abyss.

The beast is cunning, predatory, creeping,
doomed to lie,
to a deliberate, indelibly lying,
prey greedy,
the face wearing,
with a larva related,
prey become,
isn't that what it means -
seeking the truth?

“Cause” and “action” should not be reified, as naturalists (and those who now follow their manner of thinking) do according to the prevailing mechanistic stupidity, forcing cause to push and push until it “activates”. "Cause" and "action" should be used as pure concepts, that is, as generally accepted fictions, for the purpose of designation, agreement, and not explanation. In the "essence of things" (An-sich) there is no "causal connection", "necessity", "psychological lack of freedom": there "action" does not follow "the cause", no "law" reigns there. It is we, only we have invented reasons, sequence, interconnection, relativity, compulsion, number, law, freedom, foundation, purpose; and if we conceive, mix with things this world of signs as something "in itself", then we act again as we have always done, namely, mythologically.

When you want to climb up, rely on your own feet.

I feel in myself a tendency to be robbed, robbed. But once I noted that everything was going to cheat me as I fell into selfishness.

Wrong understanding of sleep. In the era of the rude, the original culture man believed that in dreams he will know another real world; here lies the beginning of all metaphysics. Without sleep people would have no reason to divide the world into two halves. The division into body and soul is also connected with the ancient understanding of sleep, as well as the assumption of an imaginary spiritual body, i.e., the origin of all belief in spirits and probably also of belief in gods. "Dead continues to live because he is living in a dream" - so infer once, many thousands of years in a row.

[Astrology] believes that the starry sky revolves around the fate of man; the moral man presumes that all that is dear to his heart, must also be the essence and heart of things.

A sign of the highest culture is a greater appreciation of small, invisible truths found by rigorous methods, than beneficent and glaring fallacies, owe their origin to the metaphysical and artistic ages and men.

Who lives the struggle with the enemy, he is interested in that the enemy's life is spared.

Often in dealing with people of goodwill to simulate, though it is unclear to us the motives of their actions.
