Contra Mundum إنّا لَفِي زَمانٍ كَثيرِ النِّعَم، وَضيعِ النُّفوس¹. لَبِسَ الناسُ فيه لِباسَ السُّخفِ وأكَلَ القُلوبَ الخُبثُ، أكْلَ السُّوْسِ للصوفِ. ولا تَتَوهَّمْ في كلامي رِثاءً لِمَكارمِ الأخلاق وضَياعِ المروءةِ والرِّجال (وإنْ كانَ كذلك في بَعضِه)، بل هو رِثاءٌ لِصِغَرِ العقولِ والنُّفوسِ²، خَيرِها وشَرِّها، فتَراها في الشَّرِّ دَنيئةً تافهة وفي الخَيرِ منافقةً مُرائِيَة، فلا هيَ بالشَّرِّ حَاذِقة ولا بالخيرِ فالِحَة³. وما كَلامي حَنينُ العجائزِ لِيَومٍ كانوا فيه شَبابًا، بل هو نفورٌ واشمئزازٌ مِن زَمانٍ حَسَنِ الوَجهِ لَئيمِ الصِّفات، صارَ يَكفيكَ فيه مِنَ الثّقافةِ مَظهَرُها، ومِنَ العِلمِ اسمُه، ومِنَ الدِّينِ رَسمُه، فإذا السياسةُ صارَتْ مسرحًا والعِلمُ شهادةَ تخرجٍ على حائطِ مَكتَب، والجمالُ وجهًا وانحناءاتِ جِسمٍ بَعدَ سَبعِ عملياتِ تجميلٍ جِراحيٍ وغَيرِ جراحي. ثُمَّ هو زَمَنٌ مَحمومٌ بالثورة، مَسعورٌ بالتَّقَدُّم، لا يَبغِي مِن ورائِهما شيئًا غيرَ الثورةِ والتقدُّمِ ولو كانَت ثورةَ غَضَبٍ أو حِقدٍ أو حَسَد، ولو كانَ التَّقَدُّمُ نَحوَ الهاوية. فَبَاتَ فيه الخروجُ على المألوفِ هو المألوف، والثورةُ (على أيِّ شيءٍ) شريعةَ العصر، والمظهرُ جوهرًا، والوَضاعةُ علوًا، وصارَ المُفَكِّرُ يَنتَقِي فِكرَه مِن بَينِ ما يَروجُ في سوقِ "الترند"، فلا يُعابُ عليه تَفكيرُه الحرُّ –الذي اشتراه– ما دامَ اختارَه بِنَفسِه⁴.

You came to know, by yourself alone, many great and hidden truths; yet you grew bitter beneath their weight. They poisoned your soul, burdened it, and pressed heavily upon it. Thus you felt compelled to speak to the newcomers of truth. You cast fragments here and there with a kind of weary negligence, not because they would be understood, but because you could no longer endure their silence within you, as though they were mere stones cast into empty wells. To those foreign ears they meant nothing; yet you had to utter them nonetheless, as one final act of relief; for you had learned nothing of the bird’s swiftness in its passage across the seven skies.

Cruel men as retarded men. —We have to regard men who are cruel as stages of earlier cultures which have remained behind: the deeper formations in the mountain of mankind which are otherwise hidden are here for once laid open. They are retarded men whose brain has, through some chance or other in the course of hereditary transmission, failed to develop in as sensitive and multifarious a way as is normal. They show us what we all were, and fill us with horror: but they themselves are as little accountable for it as a piece of granite is for being granite. Just as certain human organs recall the stage of evolution of the fish, so there must also be in our brain grooves and convolutions that correspond to that cast of mind: but these grooves and convolutions are no longer the riverbed along which the stream of our sensibility runs.

وإنّكَ تَكتُبُ شِعرًا بكونكَ أنتَ فإنّكَ أنتَ وشِعرَك بحرٌ وغَيم كأنّكما حالَتا الماءِ أو حالَتا الشِّعر إنّ مريدًا لَشِعرٌ تَجَسَّد والشِّعرُ فاعلَمْ مُريدٌ تَجَرَّدْ كالبحرِ يُصبِح غَيمًا وكالغيمِ يَرجِع بَحرًا ومِثلُ الكِتابِ يُسَمّى إمامًا ومِثلُ الإمامِ يَصير كتابًا وتُحفَظُ سيرته

وكَم مُهرَةٍ أعيَتْ سِهامَ عَدوِّها فكانَ بنَشّابِ الحبيبِ هُمودُها وكَم فِتنةٍ ما ماتَ إلا عَلِيُّها وعاشَ فأودى بالحسينِ يَزيدُها

Sympathy more painful than suffering. —There are cases in which sympathy for suffering is more painful than actual suffering. We find it more painful, for example, when one of our friends makes himself guilty of something shameful than when we do so ourselves. For we believe, firstly, in the purity of his character more than he does: then, probably precisely on account of this belief, our love for him is stronger than his own love for himself. Even if his egoism really does suffer more than our egoism does, inasmuch as he has to endure the evil consequences of his act more than we do, nonetheless the unegoistic in us – this word is never to be taken in a strict sense but only as a simplified form of expression – is affected more strongly by his guilt than is the unegoistic in him. — Human All Too Human, by Friedrich Nietzsche

هناك ألفاظٌ نَهجرُها لأننا لَم نَجِدها ذاتَ نَفعٍ لنا أو غَناءٍ في حياتِنا الجديدة. وهناك ألفاظٌ تَهجرُنا لأنها لَم تَجِدنا أكفاءَ لها، ولِما كانت تَذخَرُه لنا من ذَهَبِ المعنى. هناكَ ألفاظٌ تموتُ عنّا. وهناكَ ألفاظٌ نموتُ عنها. — المغالطات اللغوية لـ د. عادل مصطفى

عَفَا مَنزِلٌ بَينَ اللِّوَىٰ وَالحَوَابِسِ لِمَرِّ اللَّيَالِي والرِّيَاحِ اللَّوَابِسِ وَقَفتُ بِهَا أَرجُو الجَوَابَ فَلَم تُجِب وَكَيفَ جَوَابُ الدَّارِسَاتِ الخَوَارِسِ تَحَمَّلَ مِنهَا أَهلُهَا بَعدَ غِبطَةٍ وَقَد عَمَرُوهَا بِالحِسَانِ الأَوَانِسِ
