Try BGE 223 and 224. Here N provides a powerful insight into Faustian man
with his keen historical sense:

"Measure is alien to us, let us admit it to ourselves; what we itch for is
the infinite, the unmeasured. Like a rider on a charging steed we let fall
the reins before the infinite, we modern men, like semi-barbarians - and
attain our state of bliss only when we are most - in danger".  BGE 224

Zarathustra going under...   the world as spoil...    The Becoming
Imperium...
