memoir quotes

  • Allm a« hlich hat sich mir herausgestellt, was jede groÞe Philosophie bisher war: n a« mlich das Selbstbekenntnis ihres Urhebers und eineArt ungewollter und unvermerkter me  moires. It has gradually become clear to me what every great philosophy has hitherto been: a confession on the part of its author and a kind of involuntaryand unconscious memoir.

    - FriedrichWilhelm Nietzsche
      Jenseits von Gut und Bo«  se (Beyond Good and Evil), section 6 (translated by R  J Hollingdale).
