Thus Spake Zarathustra

Friedrich Nietzsche · Лицензия: Public domain · Источник

• --The most comprehensive soul, which can run and stray and rove furthest in itself; the most necessary soul, which out of joy flingeth itself into chance:-- ¶2614
• --The soul in Being, which plungeth into Becoming; the possessing soul, which SEEKETH to attain desire and longing:-- ¶2615
• --The soul fleeing from itself, which overtaketh itself in the widest circuit; the wisest soul, unto which folly speaketh most sweetly:-- ¶2616
• --The soul most self-loving, in which all things have their current and counter-current, their ebb and their flow:--oh, how could THE LOFTIEST SOUL fail to have the worst parasites? ¶2617
• O my brethren, am I then cruel? But I say: What falleth, that shall one also push! ¶2619
• Everything of to-day--it falleth, it decayeth; who would preserve it! But I--I wish also to push it! ¶2620
• Know ye the delight which rolleth stones into precipitous depths?--Those men of to-day, see just how they roll into my depths! ¶2621
• A prelude am I to better players, O my brethren! An example! DO according to mine example! ¶2622
• And him whom ye do not teach to fly, teach I pray you--TO FALL FASTER!-- ¶2623
• I love the brave: but it is not enough to be a swordsman,--one must also know WHEREON to use swordsmanship! ¶2625
• And often is it greater bravery to keep quiet and pass by, that THEREBY one may reserve oneself for a worthier foe! ¶2626
• Ye shall only have foes to be hated; but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes. Thus have I already taught. ¶2627
• For the worthier foe, O my brethren, shall ye reserve yourselves: therefore must ye pass by many a one,-- ¶2628
• --Especially many of the rabble, who din your ears with noise about people and peoples. ¶2629
• Keep your eye clear of their For and Against! There is there much right, much wrong: he who looketh on becometh wroth. ¶2630
• Therein viewing, therein hewing--they are the same thing: therefore depart into the forests and lay your sword to sleep! ¶2631
• Go YOUR ways! and let the people and peoples go theirs!--gloomy ways, verily, on which not a single hope glinteth any more! ¶2632
• Let there the trader rule, where all that still glittereth is--traders' gold. It is the time of kings no longer: that which now calleth itself the people is unworthy of kings. ¶2633
• See how these peoples themselves now do just like the traders: they pick up the smallest advantage out of all kinds of rubbish! ¶2634
• They lay lures for one another, they lure things out of one another,--that they call "good neighbourliness." O blessed remote period when a people said to itself: "I will be--MASTER over peoples!" ¶2635
• For, my brethren, the best shall rule, the best also WILLETH to rule! And where the teaching is different, there--the best is LACKING. ¶2636
• If THEY had--bread for nothing, alas! for what would THEY cry! Their maintainment--that is their true entertainment; and they shall have it hard! ¶2638
• Beasts of prey, are they: in their "working"--there is even plundering, in their "earning"--there is even overreaching! Therefore shall they have it hard! ¶2639
• Better beasts of prey shall they thus become, subtler, cleverer, MORE MAN-LIKE: for man is the best beast of prey. ¶2640
• All the animals hath man already robbed of their virtues: that is why of all animals it hath been hardest for man. ¶2641
• Only the birds are still beyond him. And if man should yet learn to fly, alas! TO WHAT HEIGHT--would his rapacity fly! ¶2642
• Thus would I have man and woman: fit for war, the one; fit for maternity, the other; both, however, fit for dancing with head and legs. ¶2644
• And lost be the day to us in which a measure hath not been danced. And false be every truth which hath not had laughter along with it! ¶2645
• Your marriage-arranging: see that it be not a bad ARRANGING! Ye have arranged too hastily: so there FOLLOWETH therefrom--marriage-breaking! ¶2647
• And better marriage-breaking than marriage-bending, marriage-lying!--Thus spake a woman unto me: "Indeed, I broke the marriage, but first did the marriage break--me! ¶2648
• The badly paired found I ever the most revengeful: they make every one suffer for it that they no longer run singly. ¶2649
• On that account want I the honest ones to say to one another: "We love each other: let us SEE TO IT that we maintain our love! Or shall our pledging be blundering?" ¶2650
• --"Give us a set term and a small marriage, that we may see if we are fit for the great marriage! It is a great matter always to be twain." ¶2651
• Thus do I counsel all honest ones; and what would be my love to the Superman, and to all that is to come, if I should counsel and speak otherwise! ¶2652
• Not only to propagate yourselves onwards but UPWARDS--thereto, O my brethren, may the garden of marriage help you! ¶2653
• He who hath grown wise concerning old origins, lo, he will at last seek after the fountains of the future and new origins.-- ¶2655
• O my brethren, not long will it be until NEW PEOPLES shall arise and new fountains shall rush down into new depths. ¶2656
• For the earthquake--it choketh up many wells, it causeth much languishing: but it bringeth also to light inner powers and secrets. ¶2657
• The earthquake discloseth new fountains. In the earthquake of old peoples new fountains burst forth. ¶2658
• And whoever calleth out: "Lo, here is a well for many thirsty ones, one heart for many longing ones, one will for many instruments":--around him collecteth a PEOPLE, that is to say, many attempting ones. ¶2659
