Is It Better To Out-monster The Monster

The Tragedy Is That We Cannot Believe The Dogmas Of Religion And Metaphysics If We Have The Strict Methods Of Truth In Heart And Head, But On The Other Hand, We Have Become Through The Development Of Humanity So Tenderly Suffering That We Need The Highest Kind Of Means Of Salvation And Consolation: Whence Arises The Danger That Man May Bleed To Death Through The Truth That He Realises.

Men Are Even Lazier Than They Are Timorous, And What They Fear Most Is The Troubles With Which Any Unconditional Honesty And Nudity Would Burden Them.

I Listened For The Echo, And I Heard Only Praise —

I Am A Forest, And A Night Of Dark Trees: But He Who Is Not Afraid Of My Darkness, Will Find Banks Full Of Roses Under My Cypresses.

Free Will Appears Unfettered, Deliberate; It Is Boundlessly Free, Wandering, The Spirit. But Fate Is A Necessity; Unless We Believe That World History Is A Dream-error, The Unspeakable Sorrows Of Mankind Fantasies, And That We Ourselves Are But The Toys Of Our Fantasies. Fate Is The Boundless Force Of Opposition Against Free Will. Free Will Without Fate Is Just As Unthinkable As Spirit Without Reality, Good Without Evil. Only Antithesis Creates The Quality.
