Christianity remains to this day the greatest misfortune of humanity.
Friedrich NietzscheRead
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Fatigue can lead to a resurgence of past thoughts and challenges that we've previously overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche's quote highlights the vulnerability of the human mind when it is fatigued. When we are tired, our defenses weaken, which can cause us to revisit doubts, fears, and ideas that we thought we had overcome. This serves as a reminder that mental strength must be maintained, and rest is essential to stay resilient against these resurfacing challenges.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich NietzscheRead
Watch them clamber, these swift monkeys! They clamber over one another and thus drag one another into the mud and the depth. They all want to get to the throne: that is their madness β as if happiness sat on the throne. Often, mud sits on the throne β and often the throne also on mud. Mad they all appear to me, clambering monkeys and overardent. Foul smells their idol, the cold monster: foul, they smell to me altogether, these idolators.

When someone is dancing madly in a blissful state, in ecstasy after meditation, he is creating vibrations around him. They may penetrate into anyone. They can become infectious; they do become infectious. This ecstasy can go to others also; this ecstasy can be felt. Others hearts will be touched by it. And if you can create ripples around you, vibrations, you have served the world, and there is no other way to serve it - you have served the divine, and there is no other way to serve it.
