His opinion of women, like every man's, is an objectification of his own emotion towards them, which is obviously one of fear. \"Forget not thy whip\"-- but nine women out of ten would get the whip away from him, and he knew it, so he kept away from women, and soothed his wounded vanity with unkind remarks. [...] [H]e is so full of fear and hatred that spontaneous love of mankind seems to him impossible. He has never conceived of the man who, with all the fearlessness and stubborn pride of the superman, nevertheless does not inflict pain because he has no wish to do so. Does any one suppose that Lincoln acted as he did from fear of hell? Yet to Nietzsche, Lincoln is abject, Napoleon magnificent. [...] I dislike Nietzsche because he likes the contemplation of pain, because he erects conceit into duty, because the men whom he most admires are conquerors, whose glory is cleverness in causing men to die. But I think the ultimate argument against his philosophy, as against any unpleasant but internally self-conscious ethic, lies not in an appeal to facts, but in an appeal to the emotions. Nietzsche despises universal love; I feel it the motive power to all that I desire as regards the world. His followers have had their innings, but we may hope that it is coming rapidly to an end.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Bertrand Russell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/bertrand-russell/it-is-obvious-that-in-his-day-dreams-he-is-a-warrior-not-a-professor/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe5/bertrand-russell-69_every-man_it-is-obvious-that-in-his-day-dreams-he_975364.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe5/bertrand-russell-69_every-man_it-is-obvious-that-in-his-day-dreams-he_975364.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe5/bertrand-russell-69_every-man_it-is-obvious-that-in-his-day-dreams-he_975364.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It is obvious that in his day-dreams he is a warrior, not a professor; all of the men he admires were…” — Bertrand Russell", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“I dislike Nietzsche because he likes the contemplation of pain, because he erects conceit into a duty, because the men whom he most admires are conquerors, whose glory is cleverness in causing men to die.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Bertrand Russell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/bertrand-russell/i-dislike-nietzsche-because-he-likes-the-contemplation-of-pain/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/553/bertrand-russell-69_bertrand-russell_i-dislike-nietzsche-because-he-likes-the_2811406.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/553/bertrand-russell-69_bertrand-russell_i-dislike-nietzsche-because-he-likes-the_2811406.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/553/bertrand-russell-69_bertrand-russell_i-dislike-nietzsche-because-he-likes-the_2811406.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I dislike Nietzsche because he likes the contemplation of pain, because he erects conceit into a duty…” — Bertrand Russell", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Most men do not feel in themselves the competence required for leading their group to victory, and therefore seek out a captain who appears to possess the courage and sagacity necessary for the achievement of supremacy.
