Ten favorite quotes from Friedrich Nietzsche (with commentary from me).

1. "All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth."
(This explains politics)

2. "It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."

3. "We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh."

4. "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."
(or screws you up mentally)

5. "When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

6. "Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent."

7. "A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy."
(maybe this is why most of my friends are women)

8. "All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking."
(many of my great ideas were conceived while showering or sitting on a toilet)

9. "The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything."

10. "Many people wait throughout their whole lives for the chance to be good in their own fashion."

Nietzsche was unfortunately a pencil-necked geek whose one true love, Lou Salome, wouldn't sleep with him even once. He got her back by getting syphilis and going insane.

I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.

He had a good turn of words.

We'll leave it to you to say something truly insipid about the man.

Although Nietzsche was chronically ill growing up, he did qualify as a cavalryman in an artillery batallion. He broke several ribs vaulting onto a horse and was cashiered as disabled. Nevertheless, when the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, he volutunteered as a medic which was no goddamned picnic. He came out of the war with diptheria and dysentary before he was discharged.

Nietzsche had a rigorous classical education and was a damned fine stylist in his native language. and his poetic power in the German language stands on a par with, say, Shakespeare in English in human insight and poetic expression.

Anyway, anyone with a doctorate in classical philology from a German university was a hard ass scholar, for that was no picnic either. They didn't qualify "geeks."

He was a wimp who broke down sobbing when he saw a man beating a horse. He threw his arms around the horse, and that's when he was committed.

He said when you go to a woman, remember to take your whip.

Wimp.

He was a wimp who broke down sobbing when he saw a man beating a horse. He threw his arms around the horse, and that's when he was committed.

The part about weeping and hugging the horse is apocryphal. Nietzsche was leaving his lodging in Turin, on evening and saw a coachman beating his horse. He ran over to intervene. He never reached the coach and collapsed in the street. That fall was the beginning of the period of mental collapse from which Nietzsche never recovered. Some writers seem to have mixed up the details of this story with those of Raskolnikov's dream in Dostoevski's Crime and Punishment.

I can well imagine that Nietzsche had an enduring fondness for horses, and would not have brooked seeing such an animal abused. Nietzsche became an accomplished horseman in his youth. He was the only volunteer in his company of thirty recruits. He was such a fine horseman that the officers in his battalion predicted that he would become a captain of the cavalry. Unfortunately, his inherited myopia resulted in a misjudgement in distance when Nietzsche attempted to leap from the ground into the saddle of a full-sized cavalry horse. He smashed his chest on the pommel so badly that he was hospitalized and he never fully recovered from that injury.

One struggles to imagine Turtle up upon a cavalryman's mount, but taking charge of an animal like that requires balls. And the balls on a Turtle are very hard to find. Finding a Turtle's balls, in fact, requires the skills of a trained chelonianologist and a magnifying glass.

He said when you go to a woman, remember to take your whip.

When reading allegory, it's always important to be aware of what characters are saying and who is saying what. In the chapter "Of Old and Young Women" in Zarathustra, this line is spoken by the old crone who is engaging the prophet Zarathustra in a dialogue. She confides the above line to him as a secret, and if you read it carefully you see that her meaning is that when a man goes to woman he must be on his guard. But then you have to - read.
