Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes

At Present, However, Science, Spurred On By Its Powerful Delusion, Is Hurrying Unstoppably To Its Limits, Where The Optimism Hidden In The Essence Oflogic Will Founder And Break Up. For There Is An Infinite Number Ofpoints On The Periphery Ofthe Circle Ofscience, And While We Have No Way Of Foreseeing How The Circle Could Ever Be Completed, A Noble And Gifted Man Inevitably Encounters, Before The Mid-point Of His Existence, Boundary Points On The Periphery Like This, Where He Stares Into That Which Cannot Be Illuminated. When, To His Horror, He Sees How Logic Curls Up Around Itself At These Limits And Finally Bites Its Own Tail, Then A New Form Ofknowledge Breaks Through, Tragic Knowledge, Which, Simply To Be Endured, Needs Art For Protection And As Medicine."
Friedrich Nietzsche, "Foreword To Richard Wagner" In The Birth Of Tragedy, Ed. R. Geuss & R. Speirs, Cambridge, 2007, 163. (p.114)
