In this state one enriches everything out of one's own fullness: whatever one sees, whatever wills is seen swelled, taut, strong, overloaded with strength. A man in this state transforms things until they mirror his powerโuntil they are reflections of his perfection. This having to transform into perfection isโart.
Friedrich NietzscheAs a human being Plato mingles regal, exclusive, and self-contained features with melancholy compassion.
Friedrich NietzscheEvery word instantly becomes a concept precisely insofar as it is not supposed to serve as a reminder of the unique and entirely individual original experience to which it owes its origin; but rather, a word becomes a concept insofar as it simultaneously has to fit countless more or less similar cases -- which means, purely and simply, cases which are never equal and thus altogether unequal.
