itt: cheesy statements that you couldn't pull off nowadays

>I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. A year ago, six months ago, I thought that I was an artist. I no longer think about it, I AM. Everything that was literature has fallen from me. There are no more books to be written, thank God.

He also wrote an entire chapter titled "why I am so clever", obviously it's supposed to be ironic.

Daily reminder that while Nietzsche bitched about alcohol and tobacco he was fucked out of his cunt on all kinds of drugs for most of his adult life.

It probably means like four different things, two of them being puns and one a biblical reference, in German.

maybe it was aimed at Jakob Moleschott's "ohne phosphor kein gedanke" - no idea without phosphor

a common materialist punchline during those years

not sure whether or not you've noticed, but that work uses a helluva lot of irony. So does Nietzsche in general.

"I know my lot. One day my name will be connected with the
recollection of something enormous — with a crisis like never before
on earth, with the deepest clash of conscience, with a decision solely
invoked against all that had until then been believed, demanded,
hallowed. I am not a man, I am dynamite. — And with all that there is
nothing in me to suggest the founder of a religion — religions are
rabble-affairs, I find it necessary to wash my hands after contact with
religious people...I desire no “believers,” I think I am too malicious even
to believe in myself, I never speak to the masses...I have a terrible fear
that one day I will be pronounced holy: one can guess why I bring out
this book beforehand, it should prevent them from doing mischief with
me...I have no wish to be a saint, I would rather be a buffoon...Perhaps
I am a buffoon...And nevertheless or rather not nevertheless — for thus
far there has been nothing more mendacious than saints — the truth
speaks out of me. — But my truth is frightful: for thus far the lie has
been called truth. — Revaluation of all Values: that is my formula for an
act of the highest examination on the part of mankind, which has
become flesh and genius in me. My lot decrees that I must be the first
decent man, to know that I stand opposed to the falseness of
millennia...I was the first to discover the truth in that I was the first to
sense the lie as lie — to smell it...My genius lies in my nostrils...I
contradict as has never been contradicted before and am nevertheless
the opposite of a nay-saying spirit. I am a bringer of glad tidings like there
never was before, I am acquainted with tasks of such loftiness that the
concept of them has been lacking; only starting with me are there
hopes again. With all that I am necessarily also the man of disaster.
For when truth enters into battle with the lies of millennia, we shall
have convulsions, a spasm of earthquakes, a displacing of mountain
and valley the like of which has never been dreamed. The concept of
politics will then be completely taken up with spiritual warfare, all
the power structures of the old society will be blown sky high — they
all rest on lies: there will be wars like never before on earth. Only
starting with me is there grand politics on earth. — "
