“It appears to Nietzsche that the modern age has produced for imitation three types of man ... First, Rousseau's man, the Titan who raises himself ... and in his need calls upon holy nature. Then Goethe's man ... a spectator of the world ... Third Schopenhauer's man ... voluntarily takes upon himself the pain of telling the truth.” MenWorldNeedsFirstsAgePainThreeModernTypeHolyThirdsRaisesTelling The TruthImitationSpectatorsTitansModern Age Author:Georg Brandes
“History, in [Nietzsche's] view, belongs to him who is fighting a great fight, and who needs examples, teachers and comforters, but cannot find them among his contemporaries. Without history the mountain chain of great men's great moments, which runs through millennia, could not stand clearly and vividly before me.” MenNeedsMomentsRunningFightingViewsTeacherExampleMountainChainsGreat MenGreat MomentsComforter Author:Georg Brandes
