Introduction: Nietzsche's Zarathustra's 1883-1885 is a poetic novel that symbolizes the end of Nietzsche's mid-period work and the beginning of his later works, which became Nietzsche's most well-known and important work.
In this book, Nietzsche uses a style similar to that of the New Testament and Plato's Dialogues, but also quite similar to that of pre-Socratic philosophical works, using the role of Zarathustra (the founding prophet of Zoroastrianism) as a medium, and he gives philosophical speeches everywhere, describing his journey and the reactions of various audiences to his philosophy. The reaction of these listeners can be seen as a comment on the philosophy of Zarathustra (and even Nietzsche himself).
The introduction of the author's life is placed at the end of the article, and friends who like it can read it.
Wonderful quotes from books
These are perhaps the three transformations that our spirits must undergo, first from a man to a camel to bear the burden of humiliation, then from a camel to a lion to defeat the Raptors, and finally to become back, to become a human, and to be a child, full of innocence.
I prefer those who spend their days thinking about going out into the heavens to seek the meaning of life, and I prefer those who are always thinking of giving everything for the earth and the sky.
I love those who live for knowledge.
I love people who are always worried that they will become liars.
I love people who do it better than they say.
I love those who risk destruction to deny the past and affirm the future.
I love those who floggle the gods for fear of them.
I love people who can hold on to their own doctrine no matter how much they hurt.
I love them because they will definitely come to the flat ground in the end.
Man and plant are the same, the more we want to grow high, the more the roots must extend to the depths of the land, we must not leave the land and run to the top of this mountain, otherwise we will have to be distorted, and only by going deep into our roots into evil can we attain the true good and hold high the banner of goodness.
I love transience because connecting countless transients is eternity.
Without transience, eternity loses its meaning.
Desire is the devil, but since it already dwells in us, let it continue.
But remember, we should give it a cage, not a Chinese house.
True greatness can only be cultivated in solitude and loneliness, and new things can only sprout in remote corners.
Cleverness is a condition for the search for and discovery of truth
Wisdom is the means of expounding and proving truth
I am only a seeker and discoverer of truth
And this truth is the whole of my life
If life is so meaningless, then why should we live?
If living is for sleep, then dying is not better sleep.
If there is no self-love, then the lover is a lie,
If there is no respect for oneself, then respect for others is fraud.
Self-love and self-esteem are not only a precept, but also a state of life that is extremely difficult to attain, the most precious of all the treasures of life, all of which have nothing to do with good and evil.
They deny happiness with sadness, they deny happiness with pain, and in the end they only deny themselves.
When you climb up a slope, you have to think about how to climb up, and you have to think about how not to slide down, which requires a double willpower, but also wisdom.
The best people are also the bravest, but the pain of man is the deepest, and those who can overcome loneliness and loneliness can be regarded as heroes.
Who are your enemies?
Your enemies are actually yourself, the worldly mediocrity in your hearts, even the smallness and cowardice in your hearts, and possibly your own evil.
Your kindness is just a cloth that you use to hide your shame.
