.—When the house burns one forgets even lunch.—Yes, but one eats it later in the ashes.84Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms—decrease.85The same affects in man and woman are yet different in tempo: therefore man and woman do not cease to misunderstand each other.86Women themselves always still have in the background of all personal vanity an impersonal contempt—for “woman.”—87Tethered heart, free spirit.—If one tethers one’s heart severely arid imprisons it, one can give one’s spirit many liberties: I have said that once before.But one does not believe me, unless one already knows it—88One begins to mistrust very clever people when they become embarrassed.89Terrible experiences pose the riddle whether the person who has them is not terrible.90Heavy, heavy-spirited people become lighter precisely through what makes others heavier, through hatred and love, and for a time they surface.91So cold, so icy that one burns one’s fingers on him! Every hand is startled when touching him.— And for that very reason some think he glows.92Who has not, for the sake of his good reputation—sacrificed himself once?—93Affability contains no hatred of men, but for that very reason too much contempt for men.94A man’s maturity—consists in having found again the seriousness one had as a child, at play.95To be ashamed of one’s immorality—that is a step on the staircase at whose end one is also ashamed of one’s morality.96One should part from life as Odysseus parted from Nausicaa—blessing it rather than in love with it.97What? A great man? I always see only the actor of his own ideal.98If we train our conscience, it kisses us while it hurts us.99The voice of disappointment:6 “I listened for an echo and heard nothing but praise—”100In front of ourselves we all pose as simpler than we are: thus we take a rest from our fellow men.101Today the man of knowledge might well feel like God become animal.102Discovering that one is loved in return really ought to disenchant the lover with the beloved.“What? this person is modest enough to love even you? Or stupid enough? Or—or—”103Danger in happiness.7—“Now everything redounds to my best, now I love every destiny—who feels like being my destiny?”104Not their love of men but the impotence of their love of men keeps the Christians of today from—burning us.8105The pia fraus9 offends the taste (the “piety”) of the free spirit, who has “the piety of the search for knowledge,” even more than the impia fraus.Hence his profound lack of understanding for the church, a characteristic of the type “free spirit”—his un-freedom.106In music the passions enjoy themselves.107Once the decision has been made, close your ear even to the best counterargument: sign of a strong character.Thus an occasional will to stupidity.108There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena—109A criminal is frequently not equal to his deed: he makes it smaller and slanders it.10110The lawyers defending a criminal are rarely artists enough to turn the beautiful terribleness of his deed to his advantage.111Our vanity is hardest to wound when our pride has just been wounded.112Those who feel predestined to see and not to believe will find all believers too noisy and obtrusive: they fend them off.113“You want to prepossess him in your favor? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence—”114The enormous expectation in sexual love and the sense of shame in this expectation spoils all perspective for women from the start.115Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman’s game is mediocre.116The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us,117The will to overcome an affect is ultimately only the will of another, or of several other, affects.118There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.119The disgust with dirt can be so great that it keeps us from cleaning ourselves—from “justifying” ourselves.120Sensuality often hastens the growth of love so much that the roots remain weak and are easily torn up.121It was subtle of God to learn Greek when he wished to become an author—and not to learn it better.122Enjoying praise is in some people merely a courtesy of the heart—and just the opposite of vanity of the spirit.123Even concubinage has been corrupted—by marriage.124Whoever rejoices on the very stake triumphs not over pain but at the absence of pain that he had expected.A parable.125When we have to change our mind about a person, we hold the inconvenience he causes us very much against him.126A people11 is a detour of nature to get to six or seven great men.—Yes, and then to get around them.127Science offends the modesty of all real women.It makes them feel as if one wanted to peep under their skin—yet worse, under their dress and finery.128The more abstract the truth is that you would teach, the more you have to seduce the senses to it.129The devil has the broadest perspectives for God; therefore he keeps so far away from God—the devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom.130What a man is begins to betray itself when his talent decreases—when he stops showing what he can do.Talent, too, is finery; finery, too, is a hiding place.131The sexes deceive themselves about each other—because at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their own ideal, to put it more pleasantly).Thus man likes woman peaceful—but woman is essentially unpeaceful, like a cat, however well she may have trained herself to seem peaceable.132One is best punished for one’s virtues [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
