- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- The home-coming
- O solitude! Solitude, my home! I have lived too long wildly in wild strange lands to come home to you without tears!...
- We do not question one another, we do not complain to one another, we go openly together through open doors....
- Here, the words... of all existence spring open to me: all existence here wants to become words, all becoming here wants to learn speech from me.
- Down there, however -- all speech is in vain! There, the best wisdom is to forget and pass by: I have learned that -- now!...
- Everything among them speaks, no one knows any longer how to understand....
- Everything among them speaks, everything is betrayed. And what was once called a secret and a secrecy of profound souls, today belongs to the street-trumpeters and other butterflies....
- My greatest danger always lay in indulgence and sufferance; and all humankind wants to be indulged and suffered.
- With truths held back... that is how I used to live among men....
- Pity teaches him to lie who lives among the good. Pity makes the air stifling for all free souls. For the stupidity of the good is unfathomable.
- To conceal myself and my riches -- that did I learn down there: for I found everybody still poor in spirit....
- That I saw and scented in everybody what was sufficient spirit for him and what was too much spirit for him!...
- With happy nostrils I breathe again mountain-freedom! At last my nose is delivered from the odour of all humankind!...
- ... Thus spake Zarathustra.
