Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes

Not Without Deep Pain Do We Admit To Ourselves That The Artists Of All Ages Have In Their Highest Flights Carried To Heavenly Transfiguration Precisely Those Conceptions That We Now Recognize As False: They Are The Glorifiers Of The Religious And Philosophical Errors Of Humanity, And They Could Not Have Done This Without Their Belief In The Absolute Truth Of These Errors. Now If The Belief In Such Truth Generally Diminishes, If The Rainbow Colors At The Outermost Ends Of Human Knowing And Imagining Fade: Then The Species Of Art That, Like The Divina Commedia, Raphael's Pictures, Michelangelo's Frescoes, The Gothic Cathedrals, Presupposes Not Only A Cosmic, But Also A Metaphysical Significance For Art Objects Can Never Blossom Again. A Touching Tale Will Come Of This, That There Was Once Such An Art, Such Belief By Artists.
