Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes

The Peculiar, Withdrawn Attitude Of The Philosopher, World Denying, Hostile To Life, Suspicious Of The Senses, Freed From Sensuality, Which Has Been Maintained Down To The Most Modern Times And Has Become Virtually The Philosopher's Pose Par Excellence - Is Above All A Result Of The Emergency Conditions Under Which Philosophy Arose And Survived At All; For The Longest Time, Philosophy Would Not Have Been Possible At All On Earth Without Ascetic Wraps And Cloaks, Without An Ascetic Self-misunderstanding. To Put It Vividly: The Ascetic Priest Provided Until The Most Modern Times The Repulsive And Gloomy Caterpillar Form In Which Alone The Philosopher Could Live And Creep About.
