To him who feels himself preordained to contemplation and not to belief, all believers are too noisy and obtrusive; he guards against them. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Man büßt es theuer, unsterblich zu sein: man stirbt dafür mehrere Male bei Lebzeiten.

I beseech you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! Poison-mixers are they, whether they know it or not. Despisers of life are they, decaying and poisoned themselves, of whom the earth is weary: so let them go.
Once the sin against God was the greatest sin; but God died, and these sinners died with him. To sin against the earth is now the most dreadful thing, and to esteem the entrails of the unknowable higher than the meaning of the earth...
What is the greatest experience you can have? It is the hour of the great contempt. The hour when your happiness, too, arouses your disgust, and even your reason and your virtue.

you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame;
how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?
