The Birth Of Tragedy - Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, a 19th century German Philosopher, is my favourite. He is kinda of an eccentric but his writings are darn interesting. Nietzsche witty thoughts tickled mine, I like the way he writes about the tragedy of life, god, morality, art and science. He inspires me in a very pessimistic way. People also says Hitler has alot Nietzsche influences. Let me post my favourite Nietzsche quotations here (alot of them!).. enjoyz!
