Freedom Pride Littles

More From Friedrich Nietzsche

Give people pride and they'll live on bread and water, bless their exploiters, and even die for them. self-surrender is a transaction of barter: we surrender our sense of human dignity, our judgement, or moral and aesthetic sense for pride. if there is pride in being free, we are ready to die for liberty. if there is pride to be derived from an identification with a leader, we grovel in the dust before a napoléon, hitler or stalin and are ready to die for him. if there is a distinction in suffering we search for martyrdom as for hidden treasure.
Pride Self Dust
Just as meekness is in all our virtues, so is pride in all our sins. whatever its momentary and alluring guise, pride is the enemy, "the first of the sins." one reason to be particularly on guard against pride is that "the devilish strategy of pride is that it attacks us, not in our weakest points, but in our strongest. it is preeminently the sin of the noble mind." not only of the noble mind, but also of the semi-righteous.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
I cherish my own freedom dearly, but i care even more for your freedom. too many have died since i went to prison. too many have suffered for the love of freedom. i owe it to their widows, to their orphans, to their mothers and their fathers, who have grieved and wept for them ..... not only have i suffered during these long lonely wasted years. i am no less life-loving than you are. but i cannot sell the birthright of the people to be free ....... only free men can negotiate. prisoners cannot enter into contracts. your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
Mother Lonely Father
When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life, and it is only fair that one has to pay dearly for having assaulted men and things in this manner with yes and no. everything is arranged so that the worst of tastes, the taste for the unconditional, should be cruelly fooled and abused until a man learns to put a little art into his feelings and rather to risk trying even what is artificial — as the real artists of life do.
Art Real Men
We want freedom. we want freedom from the constraints of the cycles of the sun and the moon. we want freedom from drought and weather, freedom from the movement of game, the growth of plants, freedom from control from mendacious popes and kings, freedom from ideology, freedom from want. this idea of freeing ourselves has become the compass of the human journey.

The thing is, my appearance – that’s never been my moneymaker. i’m fine being small. i’m fine being all the things i am. and i’m happy i’m not supposed to be on the 50 most beautiful list all the time, because that would be super f**king stressful.

Beauty and the beast seemed like it all was really brown. the whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow, like burger king or something. i don't think i would have liked beauty and the beast at any age.
