What Good To Us Is

Men Are Strong So Long As They Represent A Strong Idea They Become Powerless When They Oppose It.

The More The Fruits Of Knowledge Become Accessible To Men, The More Widespread Is The Decline Of Religious Belief.

The Gods Retain Their Threefold Task: They Must Exorcize The Terrors Of Nature, They Must Reconcile Men To The Cruelty Of Fate, Particularly As It Is Shown In Death, And They Must Compensate Them For The Sufferings And Privations Which A Civilized Life In Common Has Imposed On Them.

When We Attempt To Imagine Death, We Perceive Ourselves As Spectators.

The Ego Is Not Master In Its Own House.
