Quote for the day

There is not enough love and goodness in the world to allow us to give any of it away to imaginary beings.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Human, All Too Human, §129

Nietzsche was not only one of the most clear-headed thinkers of his time — till he went off his rocker — he also is one of the very few philosophers who can be read simply for the pleasure of the prose and the incisive observations.

It probably is worth remarking that every publisher in the universe has issued an edition of Nietzsche’s works, most of them relying on translations so old that they are in the public domain — and cheap to produce; some of them are good, and some are very bad. The Barnes and Noble editions are generally well-regarded and affordable.
