We Have Art In Order Not To

Asceticism Is The Right Way Of Thinking For Those Who Have To Extirpate Their Sensual Drives Because They Are Ravening Beasts Of Prey. But Only For Those!

The Visionary Lies To Himself, The Liar Only To Others.

Without Art We Would Be Nothing But Foreground And Live Entirely In The Spell Of That Perspective Which Makes What Is Closest At Hand And Most Vulgar Appear As If It Were Vast, And Reality Itself.

Even In The Lust Of Knowledge I Feel Only My Will's Delight In Begetting And Becoming; And If There Be Innocence In My Knowledge It Is Because My Procreative Will Is In It.

Forgetting: That Is A Divine Capacity. And Whoever Aspires To The Heights And Wants To Fly Must Cast Off Much That Is Heavy And Make Himself Light--i Call It A Divine Capacity For Lightness.
