OLDER IS THE PLEASURE IN THE HERD THAN THE PLEASURE IN THE EGO: AND AS LONG AS THE GOOD CONSCIENCE IS FOR THE HERD, THE BAD CONSCIENCE ONLY SAITH: EGO.
VERILY, THE CRAFTY EGO, THE LOVELESS ONE, THAT SEEKETH ITS ADVANTAGE IN THE ADVANTAGE OF MANY — IT IS NOT THE ORIGIN OF THE HERD, BUT ITS RUIN.
LOVING ONES, WAS IT ALWAYS, AND CREATING ONES, THAT CREATED GOOD AND BAD. FIRE OF LOVE GLOWETH IN THE NAMES OF ALL THE VIRTUES, AND FIRE OF WRATH.
HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS SHOULD BE CAREFUL LEST HE THEREBY BECOME A MONSTER. AND IF THOU GAZE LONG INTO AN ABYSS, THE ABYSS WILL ALSO GAZE INTO THEE. (Nietzsche)
The frightening nature of knowledge leaves one no alternative but to become a warrior. (Ethnic Wisdom)
MEDIOCRITY TO MERITOCRACY
In face of a world of 'modern ideas' which would like to banish everyone into a corner and 'specialty', a philosopher, assuming there could be philosophers today, would be compelled to see the greatness of man, the concept "greatness", precisely in his spaciousness and multiplicity, in his wholeness and diversity: he would even determine value and rank according to how much and how many things one could endure and take upon oneself, how 'far' one could extend one's responsibility. (Nietzsche)
HOW THE NAZIS HIJACKED NIETZSCHE, AND HOW IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYBODY
Just as American politicians like to reference the ideas of dead American heroes like Washington and Jefferson, the Nazis sought great Germans to reference when justifying their new regime. Nietzsche, with the tweaks made to his philosophy by his sister, became the primary thinker for those Nazis looking to justify their beliefs with philosophy.
NONE ARE MORE HOPELESSLY ENSLAVED THAN THOSE WHO FALSELY BELIEVE THEY ARE FREE.
(Goethe)
The world from now on will be ruled not by politicians but by philosophers cum statesmen and not by bureaucrats/clerks but by artists cum tyrants.
THE WORLD ALWAYS INVISIBLY AND DANGEROUSLY REVOLVES AROUND PHILOSOPHERS
