Me too. Who doesn't? Being a little bold isn't bad at all

Is this one another quote from Nietzsche?

That's sweet, dlaire. I wish I had a good relationship with my elder brother. And actually, the sig is...just me.

That... is kind of awesome.

That's right. I also like quote from "Adaptation" (I havo only polish sub so I must translate this again, so I could do this wrong):
"I discovered that the reason why doing something with passion is so important, is that we must reduce our world into a size, which we can bear."

hm, I remembered Gertuda Stein's quote: Rose is a rose is a rose.
I don't get it, what should it mean?

One of my favorite quotes is usually attributed to Voltaire, but I believe it is actually from Evelyn Beatrice Hall's The Friends of Voltaire:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

That just strikes a chord with me.

That reminds me:

Ben Franklin wrote:

Bad news guys. I've finally gotten my hands on a proper translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Forgive me for that, and forgive me that I'll probably be posting little pieces of it a lot from now on. What the hell, you don't have to read it, do you?

Nietzsche wrote:

Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman - a rope over an abyss. A dangerous across, a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous shuddering and stopping.

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under.
...
I love those who do not first seek behind the stars for a reason to go under and be a sacrifice, but who sacrifice themselves for the earth, that the earth may someday become the overman's.
...
I love him who does not hold back one drop of spirit for himself, but wants to be entirely the spirit of his virtue: thus he strides over the bridge as spirit.

I love him who makes his virtue his addiction and his catastrophe: for his virtue's sake he wants to live on and to live no longer.

I love him who does not want to have too many virtues. One virtue is more virtue than two because it is more of a noose on which his catastrophe may hang.

I love him whose soul squanders itself, who wants no thanks and returns none: for he always gives away and does not want to preserve himself.

I love him who is abashed when the dice fall to make his fortune, and asks, "Am I then a crooked gambler?" For he wants to perish.

I love him who casts golden words before his deeds and always does even more than he promises: for he wants to go under.
...
I love him who chastens his god because he loves his god: for he must perish of the wrath of his god.

I love him whose soul is deep, even in being wounded, and who can perish of a small experience: thus he goes gladly over the bridge.

I love him whose soul is overfull so that he forgets himself, and all things are in him: thus all things spell his going under.

I love him who has a free spirit and a free heart: thus his head is only the entrails of his heart, but his heart drives him to go under.

I love all those who are as heavy drops, falling one by one out of the dark cloud that hangs over man: they herald the advent of the lightning, and, as heralds, they perish.

Behold, I am a herald of the lightning and a heavy drop from the cloud...

Perhaps you're more of an Utena than a Shiori after all?

Well, any of these statements can apply or not at different times. Certainly when Utena was trying to sex it up to steal Akio from Anthy, she had more than one thing on her mind. But at her finest, she was focused single-mindedly on being the prince to the exclusion of all else, including self-preservation. You could say that it became her "will to power". Hmm...now that I've got the source material on hand, I may get more serious about writing character analyses from the Nietzschean perspective.

And please stop trying to get me arrested.
