“A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.“   —   Friedrich Nietzsche

(Another brilliant man who succumbed to insanity, likely from syphilis and/or mercury poisoning, which led to strokes and pneumonia, and an early death at age 55.  Still, I wish that more people would read, and really take to heart, what Nietzsche was teaching.  It would help to end all the tribalism that we continue to suffer from.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“There is always some madness in love.  But there is also always some reason in madness.”   —   Friedrich Nietzsche

(So . . . therefore, there is also some reason in love?  Sure.  I’ll buy that.  Love isn’t exactly the easiest thing to define.  And, of course, there are different kinds of love.  But, I suspect he’s referring to the more romantic – crazy and messy – form of love.  It’s a distant memory, but I think I still remember it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
