Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 3
Every series of evolutions, according to them, was presided over by a prophet; and every prophet had his 'Hazar,'—his dynasty of a thousand years."
Cada série de evoluções, segundo eles, era presidida por um profeta; e cada profeta tinha o seu 'Hazar,'—a sua dinastia de mil anos."
All Zarathustra's views, as also his personality, were early conceptions of my brother's mind.
Todas as visões de Zaratustra, assim como a sua personalidade, foram concepções precoces da mente do meu irmão.
Whoever reads his posthumously published writings for the years 1869–82 with care, will constantly meet with passages suggestive of Zarathustra's thoughts and doctrines.
Quem ler com atenção os seus escritos publicados postumamente referentes aos anos de 1869–82, encontrará constantemente passagens sugestivas dos pensamentos e doutrinas de Zaratustra.
For instance, the ideal of the Superman is put forth quite clearly in all his writings during the years 1873–75; and in "We Philologists", the following remarkable observations occur:—
Por exemplo, o ideal do Super-Homem é apresentado com bastante clareza em todos os seus escritos durante os anos de 1873–75; e em "Nós Filólogos", ocorrem as seguintes observações notáveis:—
"How can one praise and glorify a nation as a whole?—Even among the Greeks, it was the INDIVIDUALS that counted."
"Como se pode louvar e glorificar uma nação como um todo?—Mesmo entre os gregos, eram os INDIVÍDUOS que contavam."
"The Greeks are interesting and extremely important because they reared such a vast number of great individuals. How was this possible? The question is one which ought to be studied.
"Os gregos são interessantes e extremamente importantes porque criaram um número tão vasto de grandes indivíduos. Como foi isso possível? É uma questão que deveria ser estudada.
"I am interested only in the relations of a people to the rearing of the individual man, and among the Greeks the conditions were unusually favourable for the development of the individual; not by any means owing to the goodness of the people, but because of the struggles of their evil instincts.
"Interesso-me apenas pelas relações de um povo com a criação do homem individual, e entre os gregos as condições eram invulgarmente favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do indivíduo; de modo algum devido à bondade do povo, mas por causa das lutas dos seus instintos malignos.
"WITH THE HELP OF FAVOURABLE MEASURES GREAT INDIVIDUALS MIGHT BE REARED WHO WOULD BE BOTH DIFFERENT FROM AND HIGHER THAN THOSE WHO HERETOFORE HAVE OWED THEIR EXISTENCE TO MERE CHANCE. Here we may still be hopeful: in the rearing of exceptional men.
"COM A AJUDA DE MEDIDAS FAVORÁVEIS PODERIAM SER CRIADOS GRANDES INDIVÍDUOS QUE SERIAM AO MESMO TEMPO DIFERENTES E SUPERIORES ÀQUELES QUE ATÉ AGORA DEVERAM A SUA EXISTÊNCIA AO MERO ACASO. Aqui ainda podemos ser esperançosos: na criação de homens excepcionais.
