Dearest Nietzsche

Revisiting Nietzsche, and every time I do, I wonder how I could have ever left him.

"philosophy opens up a refuge for man where no tyranny can reach: the cave of inwardness, the labyrinth of the breast...that is where the lonely hide; but there too they encounter their greatest danger . . . " - from Schopenhauer as Educator

"Can you give yourself your own evil and your own good and hang your own will over yourself as a law? Can you be your own judge and avenger of your law? Terrible it is to be alone with the judge and avenger of your own law."

"He who cannot obey himself is commanded." - both from "On the Way of the Creator" in Thus Spoke Zarathurstra
