Letters to a friend 25.07.2011

Hi!

One text I wanted to share with you:

Full of clattering buffoons is the market-place, and the

people glory in their great men! These are for them the masters

of the hour.

But the hour presseth them; so they press thee. And also

from thee they want Yea or Nay. Alas! thou wouldst set thy

chair betwixt For and Against?

On account of those absolute and impatient ones, be not

jealous, thou lover of truth! Never yet did truth cling to the

arm of an absolute one.

On account of those abrupt ones, return into thy security:

only in the market-place is one assailed by Yea? or Nay?

Slow is the experience of all deep fountains : long have they

to wait until they know what hath fallen into their depths.

Away from the market-place and from fame taketh place all

that is great: away from the market-place and from fame have

ever dwelt the devisers of new values.

from Thus spake Zarathustra, Nietzsche
