Ideals

Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power, Book II, § 335 (tr. Walter Kaufmann):
“Innocence”: that is their name for the ideal state of stupefaction; “blessedness”: the ideal state of sloth; “love”: the ideal state of the herd animal that no longer wants to have enemies. Therewith one has raised everything that debases and lowers man to an ideal.

„Unschuld“: so heissen sie den Idealzustand der Verdummung; „Seligkeit“: den Idealzustand der Faulheit; „Liebe“: den Idealzustand des Heerdenthiers, das keinen Feind mehr haben will. Damit hat man Alles, was den Menschen erniedrigt und herunterbringt, in's Ideal erhoben.
