More From Friedrich Nietzsche

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

I don't like repeat offenders; i like dead offenders.
Repeats Offenders
We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
Exercise Knowledge And Power Discovery
Generations of women have sacrificed their lives to become their mothers. but we do not have that luxury any more. the world has changed too much to let us have the lives our mothers had. and we can no longer afford the guilt we feel at not being our mothers. we cannot afford any guilt that pulls us back to the past. we have to grow up, whether we want to or not. we have to stop blaming men and mothers and seize every second of our lives with passion. we can no longer afford to waste our creativity. we cannot afford spiritual laziness.

It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the state has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. all the power it has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another, there is no other source from which state power can be drawn. therefore every assumption of state power, whether by gift or seizure leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can be, any strengthening of state power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power.

Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
