More From Friedrich Nietzsche

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. but they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. science is all metaphor. in the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. you perform it. if aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. if you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

The law of nature is alternation for evermore. each electrical state superinduces the opposite. the soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.
