Kindle Notes & Highlights
Will is seen as the source of all suffering, since willing never brings contentment, but only further desire! (An echo of the teaching of Gautama Buddha.)
No wonder Nietzsche tells us that modern consciousness is sick: “Art is reduced to mere amusement, and governed by empty concepts.”
Nietzsche will combine the question of knowledge with the problem of morality – we must not separate them. So we ask not “What can we know?”, but rather “What is it good for us to know?”
“The surest remedy for the male disease of self-contempt is the love of a sensible woman.”
“The true man wants two things: danger and diversion. Therefore he wants woman, the most dangerous plaything.”
