Quotes by Sue Prideaux (?)

“People who think deeply feel themselves to be comedians in their relationship with others because they first have to simulate a surface in order to be understood.”
― Sue Prideaux, I Am Dynamite!: A Life of Nietzsche

“When I was twelve years old I conjured up for myself a marvelous trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Devil. My deduction was that God, thinking himself, created the second person of the godhead, but that to be able to think himself he had to think his opposite, and thus had to create it.—That is how I began to philosophize.”
― Sue Prideaux, I Am Dynamite!: A Life of Nietzsche

“If you have your why? in life, you can get along with almost any how? People don’t strive for happiness, only the English do.”
