Nietzsche on the danger of certainty:
"Madness is rare in individuals, but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule."
Beyond Good and Evil, §156.
Nietzsche's criticism of Socrates is fascinating.
Socrates placed enormous faith in reason and rational examination.
Nietzsche questioned whether this obsession with reason was itself a symptom of a deeper problem in Greek culture.
Can reason always improve life, or can it sometimes become a way of denying it?
Carl Jung was right when he said if the path in front of you is clear, youre probably walking someone elses. the clear path is for people who come later and need an easier way, but the man who wants to forge his own spirit better learn to love the brambles, better learn to name each thorn that cuts him, because only blood prints can mark the way for those who follow, or else your path dies with you.
