I Love Him Who Wants To Create

The Most Intelligent Men, Like The Strongest, Find Their Happiness Where Others Would Find Only Disaster: In The Labyrinth, In Being Hard With Themselves And With Others, In Effort; Their Delight Is Self-mastery; In Them Asceticism Becomes Second Nature, A Necessity, As Instinct.

Knowledge Kills Action; Action Requires The Veils Of Illusion.

Those Are My Enemies: They Want To Overthrow And To Construct Nothing Themselves. They Say: "all That Is Worthless"--and Want To Create No Value Themselves.

One Should Not Be Deceived: Great Spirits Are Skeptics ... Strength, Freedom Which Is Born Of The Strength And Overstrength Of The Spirit, Proves Itself By Skepticism. Men Of Conviction Are Not Worthy Of The Least Consideration In Fundamental Questions Of Value And Disvalue. Convictions Are Prisons.

Spiritual Strength And Passion, When Accompanied By Bad Manners, Only Provoke Loathing.
