Post your favorite Nietzsche quotes:
>The formula of our happiness: a Yea, a Nay, a straight line, a goal...
>Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened.

Love that essay
>What then is truth? A movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and; anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding. Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions- they are metaphors that have become worn out and have been drained of sensuous force, coins which have lost their embossing and are now considered as metal and no longer as coins.

Post modernists were heavily inspired by him, so it kind of makes sense

You might be, but it's an empty and superficial happiness caused by a deep seated feeling of having no control over your life...but you can control how many snickers you eat.

But anon, Man was God's first mistake.

I know, I just wanted to be funny.
>>82833
>Can you explain the logic?
Just would be funny for a famous existentialist to call existentialism a mistake.
