I hate actors who come and quote Nietzsche.
If you have Darwin, Christ and Nietzsche, they're all going to talk at once. You need somebody who listens.
'Superman' had nothing to do with the superhero or physical power. It's a reference to the book 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra,' by Friedrich Nietzsche, who wrote about the evolution of consciousness to reach a higher superman state.
Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
It was Nietzsche who first made us conscious of the significance of the individual as a term in the evolutionary process-in that part of the evolutionary process which has still to take place.
To a philosopher like Nietzsche, the Jew is culpable not for rejecting Christianity but for inventing it.
I became the stage for the great argument between Nietzsche and Rousseau. I was the extra ready to take on all the roles.
I read Nietzsche when I was a teenager and then I went back to reading him when I was in my thirties, and his voice spoke directly to me. Nietzsche is such a superb literary artist.
I loved Debussy, Stravinsky, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, anything with romantic melodies, especially the nocturnes. Nietzsche was a hero, especially with 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra.' He gets a bad rap; he's very misunderstood. He's a maker of individuals, and he was a teacher of teachers.
Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.
