Szlachetne „tak” przeciw niewolniczemu „nie”

Brandes streszcza przeciwstawienie Nietzschego: moralność szlachetna to nieustanne mówienie „tak”, moralność niewolników to nieustanne „Nie powinieneś”.

Tekst oryginalny (angielski)

In opposition to the aristocratic valuation (good = noble, beautiful, happy, favoured by the gods) the slave morality then is this: The wretched alone are the good; those who suffer and are heavy laden, the sick and the ugly, they are the only pious ones. On the other hand, you, ye noble and rich, are to all eternity the evil, the cruel, the insatiate, the ungodly, and after death the damned. Whereas noble morality was the manifestation of great self-esteem, a continual yea-saying, slave morality is a continual Nay, a Thou shalt not, a negation.
