Willing emancipateth: that is the true doctrine of will and emancipation - so teacheth you Zarathustra. No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me! And also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating and evolving delight.

Even in the lust of knowledge I feel only my will's delight in begetting and becoming; and if there be innocence in my knowledge it is because my procreative will is in it.

Beauty is for the artist something outside all orders of rank, because in beauty opposites are tamed; the highest sign of power, namely power over opposites; moreover, without tension: - that violence is no longer needed: that everything follows, obeys, so easily and so pleasantly - that is what delights the artist's WILL TO POWER.

Where there is the tree of knowledge, there is always Paradise: so say the most ancient and most modern serpents.

When we have a great goal we are superior even to justice, not merely to our deeds and our judges.

All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.

We must repay goodness and wickedness: but why exactly to the person who has done us a good or a wicked turn?
