My ultimate conclusion is, that the real man
represents a much higher value than the “de-
sirable” man of any ideal that has ever existed
hitherto; that all “ desiderata" in regard to man-
kind have been absurd and dangerous dissipations
by means of which a particular kind of man has
sought to establish his measures of preservation
and of growth as a law for all; that every
" desideratum” of this kind which has been made
to dominate has           man's worth, his strength,
and his trust in the future; that the indigence
and mediocre intellectuality of man becomes most
apparent, even to-day, when he reveals a desire;
that man's ability to fix values has hitherto been
developed too inadequately to do justice to the
actual, not merely to the “desirable,” worth of
man; that, up to the present, ideals have really
been the power which has most slandered man
and the world, the poisonous fumes which have
hung over reality, and which have seduced men to
yearn for nonentity.

An artist cannot endure reality; he turns away

worth of a thing consists in that nebulous residue

tenuated, and volatile, a thing or a man becomes,
the more valuable he becomes: the less real, the

Supposing that nothing else is "given” as real
