2. Sentences I noticed (or was drawn away to):



The teacher Karl August Koberstein gives FN the grade of 2-2a (roughly a B in 
the American system) on an essay on Hölderlin, writing as a marginal note: "Ich 
muß dem Verf[asser] doch den freundlichen Rath ertheilen, sich an einem 
gesundern, klareren, deutscheren Dichter zu halten." [To the author I must 
dispense the well-meaning advice to pursue a poet who is healthier, more clear, 
and more German]

  Nietzsche Chronicle: 1844-1863


There has never been a grreater master of the numb, hieratic frangrances--never 
has there lived an equal connoisseur of the small infinities, of all that 
trembles and of all effusiveness, of all feminisms of the "idioticon of 
happiness"!--Drink, my friends, from the goblets of this art! You will never 
find a more pleasant way to un-nerve your minds, to forget your manliness under 
a rose-bush...Oh, this old magician! This Klingsor of all Klingsors!

Scientists, philosophers, prophets and common vagrants sometimes thrust a hand 
into this flux and sieze a handful of dice, arresting their trajectory, slapping 
them down on the mahogany bar of human preconceptions, like a Montana cowboy 
rolling for drinks and hoping for a quintet of sixes.

  The Quantum Nietszche. Preface


A sudden horror and suspicion of that which it loved; a lightning flash of 
contempt toward that which was its "obligation"; a rebellious, despotic, 
volcanically jolting desire to roam abroad, to become alienated, cool, sober, 
icy: a hatred of love, perhaps a desecratory reaching and glancing backward, to 
where it had until then worshiped and loved; perhaps a blush of shame at its 
most recent act, and at the same time, jubilation that it was done; a drunken, 
inner, jubilant shudder, which betrays a victory -a victory? over what? over 
whom? a puzzling, questioning, questionable victory, but the first victory 
nevertheless: such bad and painful things are part of the history of the great 
separation.

  Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche: Preface


Nietzsche's turn here looks a bit like a version of the saying by Horace, 
Naturam expelles furca tamen usque recurret, "You expel nature with a pitchfork, 
but it just comes back."

  The Polynomic Theory of Value


Appropriating and mutilating this central term, the Christians have replicated 
the shameful deed of an Odysseus in sacking the Palladium or of a Kronos in 
parricidally assaulting his Father, Ouranos. Of course, the Christians cannot 
really steal the philosophic Logos, which remains the noetic property of the 
philosophers; but they can do something much worse when considered from the 
perspective of a society still immersed in sacred categories, like the society 
of Celsus: They can double the Logos, thus marking it with the conflict that it 
is supposed to defer. It is this doubling that strikes Celsus as intolerable and 
which, as he sees it, bodes an enormity. In his vilifications as well as in his 
arguments, Celsus is in effect saying to the emergent double of the 
philosophical Logos of which he is the spokesman, "this town ain't big enough 
for the both of us." He is trying to nip a stichomythia in the bud, but of 
course one cannot do that, for one is already fully in the midst of the 
stichomythia when one tries.

  Nietzsche Cartoons


With all your love for truth, you have forced yourselves so long, so 
persistently, and with such hypnotic rigidity to see Nature FALSELY, that is to 
say, Stoically, that you are no longer able to see it otherwise-- and to crown 
all, some unfathomable superciliousness gives you the Bedlamite hope that 
BECAUSE you are able to tyrannize over yourselves--Stoicism is 
self-tyranny--Nature will also allow herself to be tyrannized over: is not the 
Stoic a PART of Nature?

  Beyond Good and Evil - Ch 1


The Übermensch is one of the many interconnecting, interdependent themes of the 
story, and is represented through several different metaphors. Examples include: 
the lightning that is portended by the silence and raindrops of a travelling 
storm cloud; or the sun's rise and culmination at its midday zenith; or a man 
traversing a rope stationed above an abyss, moving away from his uncultivated 
animality and towards the Übermensch.

If something irreducibly anti-Roman and anti-metaphysical and anti-sacred marks

return to Celsian rancor: Thus Voltaire, ...

This is because they all agree that what the metaphyscians worshipped under the 
name of "reality" (what Nietzsche refered to as the "being" of the Eleatics) is 
a Humpty Dumpty that can never be put back together again (though it will no 
doubt continue, even in its fragmentarity, to give rise to fantasies in the 
minds of would-be metaphysicians).

Madness remained a kind of convention in poets. O ye heavenly powers, grant me 
madness! Madness, that I at length may believe in myself! Vouchsafe delirium and 
convulsions, sudden flashes of light and periods of darkness; frighten me with 
such shivering and feverishness as no mortal ever experienced before, with 
clanging noises and haunting spectres, let me growl and whine and creep about 
like a beast, if only I can come to believe in myself! I am devoured by doubt.

  Friedrich Nietzsche Philosophy: Discussion of Quotes and Ideas of German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche


Nietzsche has in fact fallen into an ancient and sacrificial logic from which a 
less dogmatically skeptical approach to the Gospels might have rescued him: He 
has succumbed to the lure of the numinous center and has entered into rivalry, 
not just with the evangels of Jesus, but with Jesus himself; he has then uttered 
a book-length sequence of antiquated denunciations aimed against Christians and 
Jews alike, blasting them as though he were Zeus and they mere arrogant 
godlings.

  Celsus the First Nietzsche


Firstly, he denied the duality of two quite diverse worlds, into the assumption 
of which Anaximander had been pushed; he no longer distinguished a physical 
world from a metaphysical, a realm of definite qualities from a realm of 
indefinable indefiniteness.

  Friedrich Nietzsche Philosophy: Discussion of Quotes and Ideas of German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche


How confidently did my dream contemplate this finite world, not new-fangledly, 
not old-fangledly, not timidly, not entreatingly:- -As if a big round apple 
presented itself to my hand, a ripe golden apple, with a coolly-soft, velvety 
skin:- thus did the world present itself unto me:- -As if a tree nodded unto me, 
a broad-branched, strong-willed tree, curved as a recline and a foot-stool for 
weary travellers: thus did the world stand on my promontory:- -As if delicate 
hands carried a casket towards me- a casket open for the delectation of modest 
adoring eyes: thus did the world present itself before me today:- -Not riddle 
enough to scare human love from it, not solution enough to put to sleep human 
wisdom:- a humanly good thing was the world to me to-day, of which such bad 
things are said!

It is a long way to the inner spaciousness and cosseting of a superabundance 
which precludes the danger that the spirit might lose itself on its own paths 
and fall in love and stay put, intoxicated, in some nook; a long way to that. 
excess of vivid healing, reproducing, reviving powers, the very sign of great 
health, an excess that gives the free spirit the dangerous privilege of being 
permitted to live experimentally and to offer himself to adventure: the 
privilege of the master free spirit!

  Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche: Preface


"I also want to naturalize ascetics again; instead of with the intention of 
negation, with an intention of strengthening,; a gymnastic of the will; a 
renunciation and spontaneous fasting of all kinds; also in the most spiritual 
domain (Diners chez Magny: all mental gluttons with spoiled stomachs); a 
casuistry of the deed in regard to the opinions that we have of our strengths; 
an attempt with adventures and arbitrary dangers; one should invent tests for 
oneself for one's strength in being able to keep one's word" (KSA 12, 387-88; 
emphasis and translation mine).

The delicacy -- even more, the tartufferie -- of domestic animals like ourselves 
shrinks from imagining clearly to what extent cruelty constituted the collective 
delight of older mankind, how much it was an ingredient of all their joys, or 
how naïvely they manifested their cruelty, how they considered disinterested 
malevolence (Spinoza's sympathia malevolens) a normal trait, something to which 
one's conscience could assent heartily.... To behold suffering gives pleasure, 
but to cause another to suffer affords an even greater pleasure.

  Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)


Janz elaborates on how Nietzsche, already at the age of 10 - 14, tried to get a 
handle on such tasks as musical notation, technique of musical semantics and 
harmonics, how he received piano lessons and also became acquainted with piano 
reductions of symphonic works, which found its reflection of his conceptualizing 
everything in his compositional attempts from the piano; that, as a 12 to 
14-year-old, he heard Oratorios in the Naumburg cathedral, that, however, for 
him, the religious became an aesthetic enjoyment which facilitated his religious 
enthusiasm rather than evoking his faith, which was followed by his attempts at 
composing a mass, motets, a "Miserere" and also a Christmas Oratorio, in all of 
which he, however, failed.

Then, Sudden, With aim aright, With quivering flight, On lambkins pouncing, 
Headlong down, sore-hungry, For lambkins longing, Fierce 'gainst all 
lamb-spirits, Furious-fierce all that look Sheeplike, or lambeyed, or 
crisp-woolly, -Grey, with lambsheep kindliness! Even thus, Eaglelike, 
pantherlike, Are the poet's desires, Are thine own desires 'neath a thousand 
guises.

... the structure of the Genealogy is a treatise on the "genealogy of morals" in 
a somewhat literal sense. The first essay, from the original Aryan race to 
Napoleon, places the slave revolt and the Judeo-Christian tradition at the 
center. The second goes from the origin of bad conscience and its expression in 
the state to the atonement (Christianity) and ends with the announcement that 
the Antichrist and anti-nihilst must triumph over God and nothingness. And the 
third begins with a discussion of Nietzsche's former heroes Wagner and 
Schopenhauer, and ends with the claim that Christian morality and the ascetic 
ideal must be overcome: "And, to repeat in conclusion what I said at the 
beginning; man would rather will nothingness

        An ATD principle?

We understand how we first had to experience the most numerous and contradictory 
conditions of misery and happiness in our bodies and souls, as adventurers and 
circumnavigators of that inner world which is called "human being," as surveyors 
of every "higher" and "one above the other" which is likewise called "human 
being," penetrating everywhere, almost without fear, scorning nothing, losing 
nothing, savoring everything, cleaning and virtually straining off everything of 
the coincidental--until we finally could say, we free spirits: "Here is a new 
problem! Here is a long ladder on whose rungs we ourselves have sat and climbed, 
and which we ourselves were at one time! Here is a Higher, a Deeper, a Below-us, 
an enormous long ordering, a hierarchy which we see: here--is our problem!"

  Human, All Too Human by Friedrich Nietzsche: Preface


If, however, the contriety and war in such a nature should act as one more 
stimulus and enticement to life - and if, on the other hand, in addition to 
powerful and irreconcilable drives, there has also been inherited and cultivated 
a proper mastery and subtlety in conducting a war against oneself, that is to 
say self-control, self-outwitting: then there arise those marvelously 
incomprehensible and unfathomable men, these enigmatic men predestined for 
victory and the seduction of others, the fairest examples of which are 
Alcibiades and Caesar and among artists perhaps Leonardo da Vinci.
