Daydreaming Idly
"It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it. Even so, it will always be the same possibilities, either in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality over the idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their directions, and he awakens them."
- Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities
"The truth will set you free. But not until it is done with you."
- David Foster Wallace

“How much truth does a spirit endure, how much truth does it dare? More and more that became for me the real measure of value. Error (faith in the ideal) is not blindness, error is cowardice.”
- Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
“The truth will set you free. But only when it is finished with you.”
- David Foster Wallace
I read a lot, and I’ve read many philosophers, essayists, novelists, poets, playwrights, and scientists. Nietzsche is one of a small number I’ve returned to over time.
He’s not done with me yet.
