“I obviously do everything to be "hard to understand" myself”

“there they laugh: they do not understand me; I am not the mouth for these ears.”

“I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move.Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.”

“Woe entreats: Go! Away, woe! But all that suffers wants to live, that it may become ripe and joyous and longing- longing for what is farther, higher, brighter. "I want heirs"- thus speaks all that suffers; "I want children; I do not want myself". Joy, however, does not want heirs, or children- joy wants itself, wants eternity, wants recurrence, wants everything eternally the same.”

“I learned to walk; since then I have let myself run. I learned to fly; since then I do not need pushing in order to move from a spot.”

“When Zarathustra had spoken these words, he again looked at the people, and was silent. "There they stand," said he to his heart; "there they laugh: they do not understand me; I am not the mouth for these ears.”

“This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. It is possible that they may be among those who understand my “Zarathustra”: how could I confound myself with those who are now sprouting ears?—First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously.”
