"—Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyperboreans—we know well enough how remote our place is. “Neither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyperboreans”: even Pindar,[1] in his day, knew that much about us. Beyond the North, beyond the ice, beyond death—our life, our happiness.... We have discovered that happiness; we know the way; we got our knowledge of it from thousands of years in the labyrinth. Who else has found it?—The man of today?—“I don’t know either the way out or the way in; I am whatever doesn’t know either the way out or the way in”—so sighs the man of today.... This is the sort of modernity that made us ill,—we sickened on lazy peace, cowardly compro mise, the whole virtuous dirtiness of the modern Yea and Nay. This tolerance and largeur of the heart that “forgives” everything because it “understands” everything is a sirocco to us. Rather live amid the ice than among modern virtues and other such south-winds!... We were brave enough; we spared neither ourselves nor others; but we were a long time finding out where to direct our courage. We grew dismal; they called us fatalists. Our fate—it was the fulness, the tension, the storing up of powers. We thirsted for the lightnings and great deeds; we kept as far as possible from the happiness of the weakling, from “resignation”... There was thunder in our air; nature, as we embodied it, became overcast—for we had not yet found the way. The formula of our happiness: a Yea, a Nay, a straight line, a goal....". Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist.

"Обратимся к себе. Мы гипербореи - мы достаточно хорошо знаем, как далеко в стороне мы живём от других. “Ни землёй, ни водой ты не найдёшь пути к гипербореям” - так понимал нас ещё Пиндар. По ту сторону севера, льда, смерти - наша жизнь, наше счастье. Мы открыли счастье, мы знаем путь, мы нашли выход из целых тысячелетий лабиринта. Кто же нашёл его? - Неужели современный человек? - “Я не знаю, куда деваться; я всё, что не знает, куда деваться”, - вздыхает современный человек. Этой современностью болели мы, мы болели ленивым миром, трусливым компромиссом, всей добродетельной нечистоплотностью современных Да и Нет. Эта терпимость, largeur сердца, которая всё “извиняет”, потому что всё “понимает”, действует на нас, как сирокко. Лучше жить среди льдов, чем под тёплыми веяниями современных добродетелей. Мы были достаточно смелы, мы не щадили ни себя, ни других, но мы долго не знали, куда нам направить нашу смелость. Мы были мрачны, нас называли фаталистами. Нашим фатумом было: полнота, напряжение, накопление сил. Мы жаждали молнии и дел, мы оставались вдали от счастья немощных, от “смирения”. Грозовые тучи вокруг, мрак внутри нас: мы не имели пути, формула нашего счастья: одно Да, одно Нет, одна прямая линия, одна цель.". Фридрих Ницше, Антихрист
