Friedrich W. Nietzsche
(1844-1990).
German philosopher.
Original in German
English version
Der Mensch ist ein Seil, geknüpft zwischen Tier und Übermensch - ein Seil über einem Abgrunde.
Ein gefährliches Hinüber, ein gefährliches Auf-dem-Wege, ein gefährliches Zurück-blincken, ein gefährliches Schaudern und Stehenbleiben.
Was groß ist am Menschen, das ist, daß er eine Brükke und kein Zweck ist: was geliebt werden kann am Menschen, das ist, daß er ein Übergang und ein Untergang ist.
Friedrich Nietzsche,
Also sprach Zarathustra,
Erster Teil, Zarathustras Vorrede, 4
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.
Friedrich Nietzsche,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra,
First Part, Zarathustra's Preface, 4
