Chapter LXVII: Part SIX: The Conscience of Europe

Text size

One who is aware of values which he regards as a hundredfold more
precious than the wellbeing of the "fatherland," of society, of the
kinships of blood and race, values which stand above fatherlands
and races, international values, such a man would prove himself
hypocrite should he try to play the patriot. It is a degradation of
mankind to encourage national hatred, to admire it, or to extol it.

NIETZSCHE, _Vorreden Material im Nachlass_.

La vocation ne peut être connue et prouvée que par le sacrifice que
fait le savant et l'artiste de son repos et son bien-être pour
suivre sa vocation.
