Remain faithful to the earth, my brothers, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth. Thus I beg and beseech you. Do not let them fly away from earthly things and beat with their wings against eternal walls. Alas, there has always been so much virtue that has flown away. Lead back to the earth the virtue that flew away, as I doโback to the body, back to life, that it may give the earth a meaning, a human meaning.
Friedrich NietzscheI change too quickly: my today refutes my yesterday. When I ascend I often jump over steps, and no step forgives me that.
Friedrich NietzscheExperience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
Friedrich NietzscheAll that philosophers have handled for millennia has been conceptual mummies; nothing actual has ever escaped from their hands alive.
