Nietzsche’s Final Knowledge
“Only when he has attained a final knowledge of all things will man have come to know himself. For things are only the boundaries of man.”
– Nietzsche, Daybreak (translated into English by R. J. Hollingdale (2003)).

I knew you’d love that quote. =)
I particularly enjoy the variety of ways one can interpret it.
But one may ask, Is it true?
What is truth? Can a variably interpretative poetic expression reveal something true?
Perhaps it is not the business of poetic expressions to reveal truth, but instead, to create it.
“Truth is a woman…”
;P
Yes, it’s remarkable! Truth & Beauty: incommensurable?
