Hollingdale), Beyond Good and Evil, 36
- The incarnate tartuffery of morals which is now part of our invincible ‘flesh and blood’ twists the words in the mouths even of us men of knowledge. ― Nietzsche (tr. Hollingdale), Beyond Good and Evil, 55
- So let us give voice to this new demand: we need a critique of moral values, the value of these values should, for once, be examined - and so we need to known about the conditions and circumstances under which the values grew up, developed and changed (morality as result. as symptom, as mask, as tartuffery , as sickness, as misunderstanding; but also mortality as cause, remedy, stimulant, inhibition, poison), since we have neither had this knowledge up till now nor even desired it. Nietzche (tr. Diethe), On the Genealogy of Morality, 7
