Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits-inasmuch as these two species always exist-occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.
