The most common sort of lie is that by which a man deceives himself: the deception of others is a relatively rare offense.

You creating ones, you higher men! Whoever has to give birth is sick;
whoever has given birth, however, is unclean.
Ask women: one gives birth, not because it gives pleasure. The pain
makes hens and poets cackle.
You creating ones, in you there is much uncleanliness. That is because
you have had to be mothers.
A new child: oh, how much new filth has also come into the world! Go
apart! He who has given birth shall wash his soul!

Friedrich Nietzsche

We no longer have a sufficiently high estimate of ourselves when we communicate. Our true experiences are not garrulous. They could not communicate themselves if they wanted to: they lack words. We have already grown beyond whatever we have words for. In all talking there lies a grain of contempt. Speech, it seems, was devised only for the average medium, communicable. The speaker has already vulgarized himself by speaking.

Agora compreendo o que se procurava primeiro que tudo em nossos dias, quando se procurava mestres de virtude. O que se procurava era um bom sono, e para isso virtudes coroadas de dormideiras. Para todos estes sábios catedráticos, tão ponderados, a sabedoria era dormir sem sonhar: não conheciam melhor sentido da vida. [...] Bem-aventurados tais dormentes porque não tardarão a dormir de todo.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Merchant and pirate were for a long period one and the same person. Even today mercantile morality is really nothing but a refinement of piratical morality.

Under the magic of the Dionysian, not only does the bond between man and man lock itself in place once more, but also nature itself, no matter how alienated, hostile, or subjugated, rejoices again in her festival of reconciliation with her prodigal son, man. The earth freely offers up her gifts, and the beasts of prey from the rocks and the desert approach in peace. The wagon of Dionysus is covered with flowers and wreaths; under his yolk stride panthers and tigers.

Benditos sean los olvidadizos pues superan, incluso, sus propios errores

Go to quote


Ainda agora o mundo é livre para as almas grandes. Para os que vivem solitários ou aos pares ainda há muitos sítios vagos onde se aspira a fragrância dos mares silenciosos.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Go to quote


It is only great pain--that slow, sustained pain that takes its time, in which we are, as it were, burned with smoldering green firewood--that forces us philosophers to sink to our ultimate profundity and to do away with all the trust, everything good-natured, veil-imposing, mild and middling, on which we may have previously based our humanity. I doubt that such a pain makes us 'better'--but I know that it makes us deeper.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Go to quote


But an essentially mechanical world would be an essentially meaningless world! Suppose that one assessed the value of a piece of music according to how much of it could be counted, calculated, put into formulas; how absurd such a 'scientific' assessment of music would be! What would one have comprehended, understood, known about it? Nothing, absolutely nothing of what is really 'music' in it!

Friedrich Nietzsche
