To live as i incline, or not to live at all: so do i wish; so wisheth also the holiest. but alas! how have i still - inclination? have i-still a goal? a haven towards which my sail is set?a good wind? ah, he only who knoweth whither he saileth, knoweth what wind is good, and a fair wind for him.what still remaineth to me? a heart weary and flippant; and unstable will; fluttering wings; a broken backbone.this seeking for my home: o zarathustra, dost thou know that this seeking hath been my home-sickening; it eateth me up.

To Live As I Incline, Or Not

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

Is it thy will, thy image should keep open my heavy eyelids to the weary night? dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken, while shadows like to thee do mock my sight? is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee so far from home into my deeds to pry, to find out shames and idle hours in me, the scope and tenor of thy jealousy? o, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: it is my love that keeps mine eye awake: mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, to play the watchman ever for thy sake: for thee watch i, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, from me far off, with others all too near.
Love Eye Home
When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. you, o worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.
Mean Thinking Goal
Spirit of beauty, that dost consecrate with thine own hues all thou dost shine upon of human thought or form, where art thou gone? why dost thou pass away and leave our state, this dim vast vale of tears, vacant and desolate? ask why the sunlight not for ever weaves rainbows o'er yon mountain-river, why aught should fail and fade that once is shown, why fear and dream and death and birth cast on the daylight of this earth such gloom, why man has such a scope for love and hate, despondency and hope?
Beauty Dream Art
Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
Jesus Art Children
He who knoweth not what he ought to know, is a brute beast among men; he that knoweth no more than he hath need of, is a man among brute beasts; and he that knoweth all that may be known, is as a god among men.

Hamlet [...] we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots. your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table; that's the end. claudius alas, alas. hamlet a man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. claudius what dost thou mean by this? hamlet nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.

There once was a miller with a daughter as lovely as a grape. he told the king that she could spin gold out of common straw. the king summoned the girl and locked her in a room full of straw and told her to spin it into gold or she would die like a criminal. poor grape with no one to pick. luscious and round and sleek. poor thing. to die and never see brooklyn.

My personal assessment is that dr. king is the greatest american we have ever produced. i can argue for lincoln, i can argue for fdr, but for my money, king is the greatest american we have ever produced. his only weapon was love. he transforms a nation, transforms the world with one weapon and that of course being again the weapon of love. so that for me, king is the quintessential example of everything that i could ever want to be in my lifetime.

To call a king "prince" is pleasing, because it diminishes his rank.
