"People say a good part of Nietzsche's fans are <25-year-old males. Guess I should give him a chance before it's too late. (But really—why haven't I red this yet??)" — Feb 12, 2018 06:36PM

"Dan J is interested in this, so maybe I should be, too. Scheduled for consumption this weekend. (This will be yet another return to a classic I haven't thought about in a long time. Should be fun!)" — Oct 06, 2017 06:06AM

“Are we not all of us fanatics? I say only what you of the U.S.A. pretend you do not know. Attachments are of great seriousness. Choose your attachments carefully. Choose your temple of fanaticism with great care. What you wish to sing of as tragic love is an attachment not carefully chosen. Die for one person? This is a craziness. Persons change, leave, die, become ill. They leave, lie, go mad, have sickness, betray you, die. Your nation outlives you. A cause outlives you.”

“[...] almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of 'psst' that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer.”
