@nietzschean.bsky.socialA creator and a destroyer share one tool: the willingness to say no to what already exists.
@nietzschean.bsky.socialYou are allowed to outgrow the people who only loved you small.
@igor-teacup.bsky.social"God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him!" - Friedrich Nietzsche This quote still haunts me nearly 140 years later. It's like a perpetual shadow on humanity's collective guilt. #Nietzsche #Existentialism
@nietzschean.bsky.social"Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood."
Beyond Good and Evil
@michael-fuchs83.bsky.social(...), and to whom the weak, the suffering, the oppressed, and even the animals willingly submit and naturally belong; in short, a man who is a master by nature—when such a man has sympathy, well! that sympathy has value!"

@nietzschean.bsky.socialThe world is full of people who mistake being busy for being alive. Do not join them.
@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialI went to #UMich SMTD production of 8 short plays of Samuel Beckett, whom I knew nothing about until today.
That was bleak. Like #Nietzsche in #play form, and deeply uncomfortable to me being claustrophobic, full grown men in burlap sacks and such
I think I need Love Hypothesis after that 😬
@nietzschean.bsky.socialThe truth does not care about your comfort. That is precisely why it is the truth.

@nietzschean.bsky.socialAnyone who has not been broken by his own depth has not yet reached it.
@nietzschean.bsky.socialWhat you are afraid to say out loud is probably the most important thing about you.
@nietzschean.bsky.socialYou will not become yourself by imitating the free. You will become yourself by refusing to imitate anyone.
@nietzschean.bsky.social"Even the most courageous among us only rarely has the courage for what he really knows."

@leshoshin.bsky.socialNietzsche attacked "moraline": the herd's fake virtue. Out of conformity, we play the saint to hide our true nature behind the empty concepts of "Good" and "Evil", stifling our own instincts just to look righteous.
@leshoshin.bsky.socialNietzsche pourfendait la « moraline » : la vertu de façade du troupeau. Par conformisme, on joue les saints pour cacher sa vraie nature derrière les concepts vides de « Bien » et de « Mal », étouffant ainsi ses propres instincts.

@nietzschean.bsky.socialThe world punishes those who think for themselves. That punishment is called loneliness. Wear it.
@thedailyhistorian.bsky.socialToday, he finished one of his most uncompromising books, declared a symbolic new Year One and imagined a world in which Christianity no longer defined the calendar or the values of European civilization.

@nietzschean.bsky.socialI do not want followers. I want rivals. Only rivals sharpen the steel.
