4 | More than once have I found the book referred to as the Re-birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music: one only had an ear for a new formula of Wagners art, aim, task,--and failed to hear withal what was at bottom valuable therein. | Nietzsche | 45 | 4.16 | 60 | 27 | 3 | 2 | 7 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 5 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
4 | Hellenism and Pessimism had been a more unequivocal title: namely, as a first lesson on the way in which the Greeks got the better of pessimism,--on the means whereby they overcame it. | Nietzsche | 32 | 4.75 | 62.5 | 20 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
4 | Tragedy simply proves that the Greeks were no pessimists: Schopenhauer was mistaken here as he was mistaken in all other things. | Nietzsche | 21 | 5.1 | 57.14 | 12 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
4 | Considered with some neutrality, the Birth of Tragedy appears very unseasonable: one would not even dream that it was begun amid the thunders of the battle of Woerth. | Nietzsche | 28 | 4.93 | 57.14 | 16 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
4 | I thought these problems through and through before the walls of Metz in cold September nights, in the midst of the work of nursing the sick; one might even believe the book to be fifty years older. | Nietzsche | 37 | 4.35 | 59.46 | 22 | 3 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 4 |
4 | It is politically indifferent--un-German one will say to-day,--it smells shockingly Hegelian, in but a few formul does it scent of Schopenhauers funereal perfume. | Nietzsche | 23 | 6.04 | 52.17 | 12 | 7 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
4 | An idea--the antithesis of Dionysian versus Apollonian--translated into metaphysics; history itself as the evolution of this idea; the antithesis dissolved into oneness in Tragedy; through this optics things that had never yet looked into one anothers face, confronted of a sudden, and illumined and comprehended through... | Nietzsche | 53 | 5.96 | 52.83 | 28 | 2 | 2 | 11 | 1 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 5 |
4 | The two decisive innovations of the book are, on the one hand, the comprehension of the Dionysian phenomenon among the Greeks; on the other, the comprehension of Socratism: Socrates diagnosed for the first time as the tool of Grecian dissolution, as a typical decadent. | Nietzsche | 44 | 5.11 | 59.09 | 26 | 6 | 0 | 8 | 1 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
4 | Rationality at any price as a dangerous, as a life-undermining force! | Nietzsche | 11 | 5.36 | 54.55 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
4 | Throughout the whole book a deep hostile silence on Christianity: it is neither Apollonian nor Dionysian; it negatives all sthetic values, it is in the widest sense nihilistic, whereas in the Dionysian symbol the utmost limit of affirmation is reached. | Nietzsche | 40 | 5.3 | 52.5 | 21 | 10 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 2 |
4 | Once or twice the Christian priests are alluded to as a malignant kind of dwarfs, as subterraneans. | Nietzsche | 17 | 4.82 | 52.94 | 9 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
4 | This beginning is singular beyond measure. | Nietzsche | 6 | 6 | 50 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
4 | I had for my own inmost experience discovered the only symbol and counterpart of history,--I had just thereby been the first to grasp the wonderful phenomenon of the Dionysian. | Nietzsche | 29 | 5.07 | 65.52 | 19 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
4 | And again, through my diagnosing Socrates as a decadent, I had given a wholly unequivocal proof of how little risk the trustworthiness of my psychological grasp would run of being weakened by some moralistic idiosyncrasy--to view morality itself as a symptom of decadence is an innovation, a novelty of the first rank in... | Nietzsche | 57 | 5.07 | 56.14 | 32 | 6 | 3 | 9 | 3 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 13 | 2 | 1 | 6 |
4 | How far I had leaped in either case beyond the smug shallow-pate-gossip of optimism contra pessimism! | Nietzsche | 16 | 5.38 | 50 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
4 | I was the first to see the intrinsic antithesis: here, the degenerating instinct which, with subterranean vindictiveness, turns against life, and there, a formula of highest affirmation, born of fullness and overfullness, a yea-saying without reserve to sufferings self, to guilts self, to all that is questionable and s... | Nietzsche | 52 | 5.67 | 55.77 | 29 | 6 | 2 | 9 | 2 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 14 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
4 | This final, cheerfullest, exuberantly mad-and-merriest Yea to life is not only the highest insight, it is also the deepest, it is that which is most rigorously confirmed and upheld by truth and science. | Nietzsche | 33 | 5.12 | 57.58 | 19 | 5 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
4 | Naught that is, is to be deducted, naught is dispensable; the phases of existence rejected by the Christians and other nihilists are even of an infinitely higher order in the hierarchy of values than that which the instinct of decadence sanctions, yea durst sanction. To comprehend this courage is needed, and, as a cond... | Nietzsche | 80 | 5.11 | 51.25 | 41 | 4 | 7 | 11 | 6 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 20 | 0 | 3 | 9 |
4 | Perception, the yea-saying to reality, is as much a necessity to the strong as to the weak, under the inspiration of weakness, cowardly shrinking, and flight from reality--the ideal. | Nietzsche | 29 | 5.28 | 55.17 | 16 | 4 | 1 | 6 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
4 | They are not free to perceive: the decadents have need of the lie,--it is one of their conditions of self-preservation. | Nietzsche | 20 | 4.95 | 65 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
4 | Whoso not only comprehends the word Dionysian, but also grasps his self in this word, requires no refutation of Plato or of Christianity or of Schopenhauer--he smells the putrefaction. 3. | Nietzsche | 30 | 5.2 | 50 | 15 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
4 | To what extent I had just thereby found the concept tragic, the definitive perception of the psychology of tragedy, I have but lately stated in the Twilight of the Idols, page 139 1st edit. | Nietzsche | 34 | 4.56 | 52.94 | 18 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
4 | : The affirmation of life, even in its most unfamiliar and severe problems, the will to life, enjoying its own inexhaustibility in the sacrifice of its highest types,--that is what I called Dionysian, that is what I divined as the bridge to a psychology of the tragic poet. | Nietzsche | 48 | 4.69 | 60.42 | 29 | 5 | 2 | 7 | 2 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 3 |
4 | Not in order to get rid of terror and pity, not to purify from a dangerous passion by its vehement discharge; but, beyond terror and pity, to realise in fact the eternal delight of becoming, that delight which even involves in itself the joy of annihilating! In this sense I have the right to understand myself to be the... | Nietzsche | 72 | 4.83 | 59.72 | 43 | 6 | 3 | 11 | 3 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 18 | 3 | 7 | 7 |
4 | Prior to myself there is no such translation of the Dionysian into the philosophic pathos: there lacks the tragic wisdom,--I have sought in vain for an indication thereof even among the great Greeks of philosophy, the thinkers of the two centuries before Socrates. | Nietzsche | 43 | 5.14 | 58.14 | 25 | 4 | 3 | 9 | 2 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 2 |
4 | A doubt still possessed me as touching Heraclitus, in whose proximity I in general begin to feel warmer and better than anywhere else. | Nietzsche | 23 | 4.83 | 56.52 | 13 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4 |
4 | The affirmation of transiency and annihilation, to wit the decisive factor in a Dionysian philosophy, the yea-saying to antithesis and war, to becoming, with radical rejection even of the concept being,--that I must directly acknowledge as, of all thinking hitherto, the nearest to my own. | Nietzsche | 45 | 5.42 | 55.56 | 25 | 5 | 3 | 9 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 5 |
4 | The doctrine of eternal recurrence, that is, of the unconditioned and infinitely repeated cycle of all things--this doctrine of Zarathustras might after all have been already taught by Heraclitus. | Nietzsche | 29 | 5.76 | 58.62 | 17 | 2 | 6 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
4 | At any rate the portico which inherited well-nigh all its fundamental conceptions from Heraclitus, shows traces thereof. | Nietzsche | 17 | 6.06 | 41.18 | 7 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
4 | In this book speaks a prodigious hope. | Nietzsche | 7 | 4.43 | 42.86 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
4 | In fine, I see no reason whatever for taking back my hope of a Dionysian future for music. | Nietzsche | 18 | 4 | 61.11 | 11 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
4 | Let us cast a glance a century ahead, let us suppose my assault upon two millenniums of anti-nature and man-vilification succeeds! | Nietzsche | 21 | 5.24 | 42.86 | 9 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 5 |
4 | That new party of life which will take in hand the greatest of all tasks, the upbreeding of mankind to something higher,--add thereto the relentless annihilation of all things degenerating and parasitic, will again make possible on earth that too-much of life, from which there also must needs grow again the Dionysian s... | Nietzsche | 53 | 5.13 | 56.6 | 30 | 7 | 4 | 10 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 8 |
4 | I promise a tragic age: the highest art in the yea-saying to life, tragedy, will be born anew, when mankind have behind them the consciousness of the hardest but most necessary wars, without suffering therefrom. A psychologist might still add that what I heard in my younger years in Wagnerian music had in general naugh... | Nietzsche | 89 | 4.76 | 57.3 | 51 | 9 | 7 | 11 | 6 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 16 | 11 | 2 | 13 |
