- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutras
- Of life and love
- What have we in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew is lying upon it?
- It is true: we love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
- There is always a certain madness in love. But also there is always a certain method in madness.
- And to me too, who love life, it seems that butterflies and soap-bubbles, and whatever is like them among men, know most about happiness.
- To see these light, foolish, dainty, affecting little souls flutter about -- that moves Zarathustra to tears and to song.
- I should believe only in a god who understood how to dance.
- Of war and warriors
- We do not wish to be spared by our best enemies, nor by those whom we love from the very heart. So let me tell you the truth!
- My brothers in war! I love you from the very heart, I am and have always been of your kind. And I am also your best enemy. So let me tell you the truth!...
- You should be such men as are always looking for an enemy -- for your enemy. And with some of you there is hate at first sight.
- You should seek your enemy, you should wage your war -- a war for your opinions. And if your opinion is defeated, your honesty should still cry triumph over that!
- You should love peace as a means to new wars. And the short peace more than the long.
- I do not exhort you to work but to battle. I do not exhort you to peace, but to victory. May your work be a battle, may your peace be a victory!
- One can be silent and sit still only when one has arrow and bow; otherwise one babbles and quarrels. May your peace be a victory!
- You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I tell you: it is the good war that hallows every cause.
- War and courage have done more great things than charity. Not your pity but your bravery has saved the unfortunate up to now....
- Thus live your life of obedience and war! What good is long life? What warrior wants to be spared?
- ... Thus spake Zarathustra.
