Nietzsche post: That post just put the H. P. lovecraft post in second place!!

Nietzsche post:

Democracy...a strange soup mix

From Friedrich Neitzsche....

The conditions under which any one understands me, and necessarilyunderstands me--
I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion,
he must carry intellectual integrity.... to the verge of hardness.

He must be accustomed to living on mountain tops--and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as beneathhim. He must have become indifferent; he must never ask of the truth
whether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him...
He must have an inclination, born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for;
the courage for the forbidden;predestination for the labyrinth.
The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music.
New eyes for what is most distant. A new conscience for truths that have hitherto remained unheard.
And the will to economize in the grand manner--to hold together his strength, his enthusiasm...Reverence for self; love of self; absolute freedom of self........

As one draws closer to..Truth/Understanding.....The Mountain Top..
Its get..Colder...More Alone...

H.P. Lovecraft > Quotes > Quotable Quote

“As for the Republicans -- how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'...) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.”
