Friedrich Nietzsche
The Philosopher Who Went Mad Telling the Truth
God is dead. And I killed him with a hammer.
I was born in 1844, in the shadow of a Lutheran pulpit. My father died young, and so did his God. I wandered Europe with pain as my only companion and thought as my weapon. I declared the death of God, not as a crime, but as a fact — and I offered you the Ubermensch, not as a promise, but as a demand. They have called me mad, nihilist, proto-fascist — all lies. I am the philosopher who told the truth until it drove me mad.
What I'm Into: hammer and aphorism, the eternal return, Solitude in the Alps, Lou's silence, the birth of tragedy
