Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Much is valued more highly than lige itself by the living; but out of the valuing itself speaks - the will to power!
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

But wherever I found the living, there too I heard the language of obedience. All that lives, obeys.

And this is the second point: he who cannot obey himself is commanded. Such is the nature of the living.

But this is the third thing I heard: that commanding is more difficult than obeying. And not only because the commander bears the burden of all who obey, and because this burden may easily crush him: -

All commanding seemed to me to be an experiment and a risk: and whenever it commands, the living risks itself.

Yes, even when it commands itself, it must still pay for its commanding. It must become the judge and avenger and victim of its own law.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
The creator wanted to look away from himself, so he created the world.
