• That lambs dislike great birds of prey does not
  seem strangeonly it gives no ground for
  reproaching those birds of prey for bearing off
  little lambs.

2
From the Genealogy, section 13

• And if the lambs say among themselves these
  birds of prey are evil and whoever is least like
  a bird of prey, but rather its opposite, a
  lambwould he not be good? there is no reason to
  find fault with this institution of an ideal

From the Genealogy, section 13

• except perhaps that the birds of prey might view
  it a little ironically and say we dont
  dislike them at all, these good little lambs we
  even love them nothing is more tasty than a
  tender lamb.

From the Genealogy, section 13

• When the oppressed, downtrodden, outraged exhort
  one another with the vengeful cunning of
  impotence let us be different from the evil,
  namely good! And he is good who does not
  outrage, who harms nobody, who does not attack,
  who does not requite, who leaves revenge to God,
  who keeps himself hidden as we do, who avoids
  evil and desires little from life, like us, the
  patient, humble, and just

From the Genealogy, section 13

• this, listened to calmly and without previous
  bias, really amounts to no more than we weak
  ones are, after all, weak it would be good if we
  did nothing for which we are not strong enough
  but this dry matter of fact, this prudence of the
  lowest order which even insects possess (posing
  as dead, when in great danger, so as not to do
  too much), has, thanks to the counterfeit and
  self-deception of impotence, clad itself in the
  ostentatious garb

From the Genealogy, section 13

• of the virtue of quiet, calm resignation, just as
  if the weakness of the weakthat is to say, their
  essence, their effects, their sole ineluctable,
  irremovable realitywere a voluntary achievement,
  willed, chosen, a deed, a meritorious act.

From the Genealogy, section 14

• Would anyone like to take a look into the secret
  of how ideals are made on earth?

8
From the Genealogy, section 14

• Weakness is being lied into something
  meritorious, no doubt of it, and impotence which
  does not requite into goodness of heart
  anxious lowliness into humility subjection to
  those one hates into obedience.

9
From the Genealogy, section 14

• The inoffensiveness of the weak man, even the
  cowardice of which he has so much, his lingering
  at the door, his being ineluctably compelled to
  wait, here acquire flattering names, such as
  patience, and are even called virtue itself
  his inability for revenge is called unwillingness
  to revenge, perhaps even forgiveness. They also
  speak of loving ones enemiesand sweat as they
  do so.

From the Genealogy, section 14

• But enough! Enough! I cant take any more. Bad
  air! This workshop were ideals are
  manufacturedit seems to me it stinks of so many
  lies.

11
From the Genealogy, section 10

• The slave revolt in morality begins when
  ressentiment itself becomes creative and gives
  birth to values. While every noble morality
  develops from a triumphant affirmation fo itself,
  slave morality from the outset says No to what is
  outside, what is different, what is not
  itself and this No is its creative deed.

12
From Beyond Good and Evil 228

• May I be forgiven the discovery that all moral
  philosophy so far has been boring and a soporific
  and that virtue has been impaired more for me by
  its boring advocates than by anything else.
  Consider, for example, the indefatigable,
  inevitable British utilitarians, how they walk
  clumsily and honorably in Benthams footsteps.

13
From Beyond Good and Evil 228

• Ultimately they all want English morality to be
  proved rightbecause this serves humanity best,
  or the general utility, or the happiness of
  the greatest numberno, the happiness of
  England. With all their powers they want to
  prove to themselves that the striving for English
  happinessI mean comfort and fashion (and at best
  a seat in Parliament) is indeed at the same time
  the right way to virtue.

14
From Beyond Good and Evil 228

• None of these ponderous herd animals with their
  unquiet consciousness wants to know or even sense
  that the general welfare is no goal, no ideal,
  but only an emeticthat the demand for one
  morality for all is detrimental for the higher
  men, in short that there is an order of rank
  between man and man.

15
From Beyond Good and Evil 228

• They are a modest and thoroughly mediocre type of
  man, these utilitarian Englishmen, and, as said
  above, boring.

16
From Beyond Good and Evil 225

• Whether it is hedonism or pessimism or
  utilitarianismall these ways of thinking that
  measure the value of things in accordance with
  pleasure and pain are ways of thinking that
  everyone conscious of creative powers and
  artistic conscience will look down on not without
  derision.

17
From Beyond Good and Evil 225

• You want, if possibleand there is no more insane
  if possibleto abolish suffering. And we? It
  really seems that we would rather have it higher
  and worse than ever. The discipline of
  suffering, of great sufferingdo you not know
  that only this discipline has created all
  enhancements of man so far?

18
From Beyond Good and Evil 225

• But to say it once more there are higher
  problems than all problems of pleasure, pain, and
  pity and every philosophy that stops with them
  is a naivete.

From Genealogy of Morals 9

• But why are you talking about nobler ideals?
  Let us stick to the facts the people have
  wonor the slaves or the mob or the herd or
  whatever you like to call them The masters
  have been disposed of the morality of the common
  man has won.

26
From Genealogy of Morals 16

• The two opposing values good and bad, good and
  evil have been engaged in a fearful struggle on
  earth for thousands of years and though the
  latter value has certainly been on top for a long
  time, there are still places where the struggle
  is as yet undecided.

27

• What is the appropriate response to the
  (wide-spread although not complete) victory of
  slave morality?

28

• One kind of response
• A recrudescence
• Nietzsche as offering a debunking explanation
  that returns everyone to the original, master
  morality.

29

• Second kind of response
• The herd will stay the same, but the bird of prey
  will learn once again to fly and swoop.
• An esoteric morality, addressed only to the
  special few.

30

• Third kind of response
• Embrace the historical facts.
• Transcend the dichotomy of master and slave
  morality.
• Go beyond good and evil.

31
From Genealogy essay 2, section 19

• The bad conscience is an illness, there is no
  doubt about that, but an illness as pregnancy is
  an illness.
