Additional quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

To love mankind for the sake of God-that has been the most nobel and far-fetched feeling yet achieved by human beings. The idea that without some sanctifying ulterior motive, a love of mankind is just one more brutish stupidity, that the predisposition to such a love must first find its weight, its refinement, its grain of salt and pinch of ambergris in another even higher predisposition-whoever first felt and 'witnessed' this, and however much his tongue may have stuttered in attempting to express such a delicate idea: may he remain forever venerable and holy in our sight as the man who as yet has flown the highest and erred the most beautifully!

إن الإنسان مثله مثل الشجرة. كلما رنا إلى الأعالي و إلى النور إلا ونحت جذوره إلى التوغل في الأرض، في التحت، في العتمة و لعمق - في الشر.
