: : i want opinions adout nietzsche's educational theory : Sorry i grabbed a bunch of quotes--I think most of them are from either Human, all-too-human, or his private notes! : Public education. —In large States public education will always be extremely mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is at best only mediocre. : For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are there, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them! I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible... : ...To educate educators! But the first ones must educate themselves! And for these I write. : To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task. : The will to a system: in a philosopher, morally speaking, a subtle corruption, a disease of the character; amorally speaking, his will to appear more stupid than he is. . . . I am not bigoted enough for a system—and not even for my system. : What is the difference between someone who is convinced and one who is deceived? None, if he is well deceived. : To prove a conviction is quite senseless; rather, it is important to prove that one has a right to be so convinced. : Conviction is an objection, a question mark, a défi ["challenge"] (A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions! ! !) : All truths are for me soaked in blood. : My strongest characteristic is self-overcoming. But I also need it most. : What is the seal of attained freedom? —No longer being ashamed in front of oneself.
