The Nietzschean Dawn

"I was the first to take seriously that wonderful phenomenon which bears the name Dionysus as a means to understanding the older Hellenic instinct, an instinct still exuberant and even overflowing: it is explicable only as an excess of energy."

No one is more slavish than he who insists on being free. No one is more inferior than he who insists on being equal. No one is more alien than he who insists on the universal brotherhood of man.

“The most fundamental point to be made about Nietzsche's notion of chaos is the following: Only a thinking that is utterly lacking in stamina will deduce a will to godlessness from the will to a de-deification of beings. On the contrary, truly metaphysical thinking, at the outermost point of de-deification, allowing itself no subterfuge and eschewing all mystification, will uncover that path on which alone gods will be encountered — if they are to be encountered ever again in the history of mankind.” — Heidegger
