Two drawings of Nietzsche

Posted in English by Gorm on 17/06 -09

My brother Trym recently made these drawings of Nietzsche, unaware of how fitting quotes they could be paired with, as I’ve done below. The first quote is from section 146 of Beyond Good and Evil and the second one from section 4 of Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman — a rope over an abyss.

A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting.

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an over-going and a down-going [Untergang].

Thanks, Trym!
