“In order to be able thus to misjudge, and thus to grant left-handed veneration to our classics, people must have ceased to know them. This, generally speaking, is precisely what has happened. For, otherwise, one ought to know that there is only one way of honoring them, and that is to continue seeking with the same spirit and with the same courage, and not to weary of the search.” PeopleKnowsWayAbleSpiritOrderLeftHappenedOughtSeekingOne WayGrantsWearyVenerationLeft Handed Book:Delphi Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche (Illustrated): Friedrich Nietzsche Source: Delphi Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche (Illustrated): Friedrich Nietzsche
“If we apply the term revolution to what happened in North America between 1776 and 1829, it has a special meaning. Normally, the word describes the process by which man transforms himself from one kind of man, living in one kind of society, with one way of looking at the world, into another kind of man, another society, another conception of life.... The American case is different: it is not a question of the Old Man transforming himself into the New, but of the New Man becoming alive to the fact that he is new, that he has been transformed already without his having realized it.” IfsMenWorldWayKindHas BeensDifferentFactsAmericaProcessTermCasesAliveHappenedSpecialRevolutionBecomingOne WayOld ManConceptionTransformedTransformingNorth America Author:W.
