More quotes by Philipp Mainländer
The kingdom of heaven after death, nirvana and absolute nothingness are one and the same.
The will must not only despise death, it must love it; for chastity is the love of death.
God has died and His death was the life of the world.
The movement of the cosmos is the movement from over-being to non-being. The universe, however, is the disintegration into multiplicity, that is, into egoistic individualities arrayed against each other. Only in this struggle of essences, which before were a simple unity, can the original essence itself be destroyed.
Filosofía De La Redención: Antología (2011)
But at the bottom, the immanent philosopher sees in the entire universe only the deepest longing for absolute annihilation, and it is as if he clearly hears the call that permeates all spheres of heaven: Redemption! Redemption! Death to our life! And the comforting answer: you will all find annihilation and be redeemed.
