Nietzsche
gathered in palm
the insanity
of philosophy..

And wisely
told us as
philosophers,
how insane we are.

or... he gathered in his palm his own insanity and spun it into something that questioned the sanity of us all...

nice job

Aphorism 322:  On Death:

The certain prospect of death could
sweeten every life with a precious and
fragrant drop of levity - and now you
strange apothecary souls have turned it
into an ill-tasting drop of poison that
makes the whole of life repulsive.

- Nietzsche 1844-1900


xxoo
he sounds pretty sane to me . . .

(big hugggsssssss) Sanity is overrated, and all the same, I really don't believe in philosophy and believe the best philosophy is that which is not! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, it surely can be poisonous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I guess we are insane if we don't realize that we are insane not realizing it.

Very nice.  I also like your Yahoo! profile quote from Epilogues and Interludes.  That was one of my favourites, next to "Poets treat their experiences shamelessly: they exploit them."  

Nietzsche was a pretty clever guy, no doubt.

Faith is a fine invention
When gentlemen can see
But microscopes are prudent
In an emergency.
