“We have already gone beyond whatever we have words for. In all talk there is a grain of contempt.”
Friedrich Nietzsche book Twilight of the Idols
Expeditions of an Untimely Man §26
Wofür wir Worte haben, darüber sind wir auch schon hinaus. In allem Reden liegt ein Gran Verachtung.
Variant translation: That for which we find words is something already dead in our hearts. There is always a kind of contempt in the act of speaking.'
Twilight of the Idols (1888)
