...Not to be free of fear and pity, not to purge oneself of a dangerous emotion through a vehement discharge ...but to be above and beyond fear and pity, to be oneself the eternal joy of Becoming itself — that joy which also includes the joy in destroying ... The affirmation of flux and destruction, the decisive element in a Dionysian philosophy, the yea-saying to contradiction and strife, the notion of Becoming, along with the radical rejection of even the concept, “Being” ... In the end I lack every reason for taking back the hope of a Dionysian future for music. Let us look a century ahead, let us suppose that my attempt on two thousand years of anti-nature and human defilement were to succeed. That new party of life, which would take up the greatest of all tasks, the higher breeding of mankind, including the pitiless annihilation of all degenerates and parasites, will make possible again that excess of life on earth from which the Dionysian condition must rise again as well. I give promise of a tragic age: the highest art in life affirmation, the tragedy, will be reborn when mankind has put behind it the consciousness of the hardest but most necessary wars without suffering from it...
