I love plants, storms, science, music, poetry, & narrating audiobooks. Here they all are - Enjoy :)
"There is a steely necessity which fetters the philosopher to a true Culture: but what if this Culture does not exist? Then the philosopher is an incalculable & therefore terror-inspiring comet, whereas in the favourable case, he shines as the central star in the solar-system of culture."
Nietzsche, Philosophy during the Tragic Age of the Greeks
"Better know nothing than half-know many things! Better be a fool on one’s own account, than a sage on other people’s approbation! I go to the basis: What matter if it be great or small? ...A handbreadth of basis is enough for me, if it be actually basis & ground! A handbreadth of basis: thereon can one stand. In the true knowing-knowledge there is nothing great & nothing small."
Nietzsche, Zarathustra (64)
