Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A daily dose of Nietzsche goes a long way.
I read Nietzsche when I was a teenager and then I went back to reading him when I was in my thirties, and his voice spoke directly to me. Nietzsche is such a superb literary artist.
I'm a Nietzschean scholar. I've read an immense amount about nihilism and existentialism.
The author, in his work, must be like God in the Universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere.
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when you look into the darkness of the abyss the abyss looks into you. Probably no other line or thought more inspires or informs my work.
It's good training for a novelist to try to discern the truth about a place after only a few glimpses of it.
Genius is not perfected, it is deepened. It does not so much interpret the world as fertilize itself with it.
It was 1988, and I was just finishing a D.Phil at Oxford University on the topic of 'Nietzsche and German Idealism.'
For my own poor part, I go to great lengths to keep my nostrils sightly.
Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.
