Wisdom Sets Bounds Even To

Reckoned Physiologically, Everything Ugly Weakens And Afflicts Man. It Recalls Decay, Danger, Impotence; He Actually Suffers A Loss Of Energy In Its Presence. The Effect Of The Ugly Can Be Measured With A Dynamometer. Whenever Man Feels In Any Way Depressed, He Senses The Proximity Of Something Ugly. His Feeling Of Power, His Will To Power, His Courage, His Pride - They Decline With The Ugly, They Increase With The Beautiful.

To Have And To Want More That Is Life.

In The Consciousness Of The Truth He Has Perceived, Man Now Sees Everywhere Only The Awfulness Or The Absurdity Of Existence And Loathing Seizes Him.

He Who Wills Believes With A Fair Amount Of Certainty That Will And Action Are Somehow One; He Ascribes The Success, The Carrying Out Of The Willing, To The Will Itself, And Thereby Enjoys An Increase Of The Sensation Of Power Which Accompanies All Success.

Who Has Not For The Sake Of His Reputation Sacrificed Himself?
