Carlyle, A Man Of Strong Words And

The Secret Of Realizing The Greatest Fruitfulness And The Greatest Enjoyment Of Existence Is: To Live Dangerously! Build Your Cities On The Slopes Of Vesuvius! Send Your Ships Out Into Uncharted Seas! Live In Conflict With Your Equals And With Yourselves! Be Robbers And Ravagers As Soon As You Ca Not Be Rulers And Owners, You Men Of Knowledge! The Time Will Soon Past When You Could Be Content To Live Concealed Int He Woods Like Timid Deer!

Every Word Is A Preconceived Judgment.

Let Us Beware Of Saying That Death Is The Opposite Of Life. The Living Being Is Only A Species Of The Dead, And A Very Rare Species.

To Recognize Untruth As A Condition Of Life--that Certainly Means Resisting Accustomed Value Feelings In A Dangerous Way; And A Philosophy That Risks This Would By That Token Alone Place Itself Beyond Good And Evil.

My Philosophy Is Inverted Platonism: The Further A Thing Is From True Being, The Purer, The Lovelier, The Better It Is. Living Inillusion As A Goal!
