The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.
They who are from the outset botched, oppressed, broken, those are they, the weakest are they, who most undermine the life beneath the feet of man, who instil the most dangerous venom and scepticism into our trust in life, in man, in ourselves.
But some day, in a stronger age than this rotting and introspective present, he will come to us, the redeeming man of great love and contempt, the creative spirit, rebounding by the impetus of his own force back again away from every transcendental plane and dimension,
whose solitude will be misunderstood by the people as though it were flight from reality -: whereas it is just his way of being absorbed, buried and immersed in reality so that from it, when he emerges into the light again,
he can return with the redemption of this reality: redeem it from the curse which its ideal has placed on it up till now.
