[976W-{9/20/79}CD Vol. II, [p. 367]

[P. 367] {FEUER} {anti-FEUER} “I do not believe in God, but in godliness, which is revealed in a Jesus without sin.” [976W-{9/20/79}CD Vol. II, [p. 367]

 

[977W-{9/21/79}CD Vol. II, p. 367]

[P. 367] {FEUER} “ … I maintain to R. that there are many things of which he understands nothing, since genius has no part in original sin. He: ‘I live like a sort of animal.’ I: ‘Yes, in innocence.’ “ [977W-{9/21/79}CD Vol. II, p. 367]

 

[978W-{10/1/79}CD Vol. II, p. 373]

[P. 373] {FEUER} “… he thinks of Othello and Desdemona, and I remind him of the remark he once made to me – that O. killed Desdemona because he knew she must one day be unfaithful to him. He continues by saying that natural tendencies hold sway over acts of enthusiasm, and once the image had arisen in his mind, even if put there by such a despicable rogue, life became impossible, everything was finished, and the only saving grace that D. die with her purity unsullied.” [978W-{10/1/79}CD Vol. II, p. 373]

 

[979W-{10/8/79}CD Vol. II, p. 377]

[P. 377] {FEUER} “As reading material he has E. v. Hagen on the 2nd scene of Das Rheingold; today he tells me that he has not grasped the difference between ‘eternal’ and ‘infinite’ – ‘eternal’ simply means outside of time. Otherwise it would be nonsense to have spoken of ‘the end of the eternal gods.’ “ [979W-{10/8/79}CD Vol. II, p. 377]

 

[980W-{10/11/79}CD Vol. II, p. 378]

[P. 378] “… I read a very good speech by the preacher Stoecker about the Jews. R. is in favor of expelling them entirely. We laugh to think that it really seems as if his article on the Jews marked the beginning of this struggle.” [980W-{10/11/79}CD Vol. II, p. 378]

 

[981W-{10/15/79} CD Vol. II, p. 380]

[P. 380] “R. replies [to a comparison of truthfulness in feeling in Calderon’s and Shakespeare’s plays]: ‘What is truth? It is a tremendous nervous excitation which can easily turn into the very opposite.’ “ [981W-{10/15/79} CD Vol. II, p. 380]

 

[982W-{10/79} Letter to E. von Weber ‘Against Vivisection’: PW Vol. VI, p. 196-198]

[P. 196] {anti-FEUER/NIET} {SCHOP} “Who needs another motive for the protection of an animal from wilfully protracted sufferings, than that of pure humanity [* Trans-lator’s Footnote: “ ‘Mitleid’ = ‘Compassion’ or ‘Pity.’ “], can never have felt a genuine right to stop another man’s beast-torture. Everyone who revolts at the sight of an animal’s torment, is prompted solely by [P. 197] compassion; and he who joins with others to protect dumb animals, is moved by naught save
