Nietzsche

An empty stomach, five cigarettes, lack of sleep, a turbulent mind and Nuovo Cinema Paradiso have made me decide to desert Nietzsche for a while. If the Ubermensch can't cry, I don't want to meet him. If life is about desperately trying to be strong, then I say weakness is strength. There is a saying in Japanese, 柳の枝に雪折れなし (litt. the branches of a willow don't break under the weight of snow), which basically means as much as in yielding is strength. Oh so true.
