Friedrich Nietzsche: Ein Kämpfer Gegen Seine Zeit

“Man is already weak at the moment he searches for laws and rules according to which he shall think and act. Out of his own being the strong individual controls his way of thinking and doing.””

— Rudolf Steiner

“Every kind of subordination to a strange power Nietzsche feels as weakness. And he thinks differently about that which is a 'strange power' than many a one who considers himself to be 'an independent, free spirit.' Nietzsche considers it a weakness when the human being; subordinates his thinking and his doing to so-called 'eternal, brazen' laws of the intellect. Whatever the uniformly developed personality does, it does not allow it to be prescribed by a moral science, but only by the impulses of its own self. Man is already weak at the moment he searches for laws and rules according to which he shall think and act. Out of his own being the strong individual controls his way of thinking and doing.””
