Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
Free, dost thou call thyself? Thy ruling thought would I hear of, and not that thou hast escaped from a yoke.Art thou one ENTITLED to escape from a yoke? Many a one hath cast away his final worth when he hath cast away his servitude.Free from what? What doth that matter to Zarathustra! Clearly, however, shall thine eye show unto me: free FOR WHAT?
Summary
This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche explores the concept of freedom and challenges the idea of mere escape from oppression. Nietzsche questions whether true freedom lies in simply being liberated from a yoke or a burden. He emphasizes the significance of a ruling thought or purpose behind one's freedom. Nietzsche challenges the reader to consider the true nature of their freedom and asks what they are free for. In this context, he urges the reader to find a higher purpose and meaning in their pursuit of freedom rather than just seeking an escape from oppression.
