A collection of observations and memories

Nietzsche, Neitzsche, Nietschze

June 17th, 2004 by Mike

So this morning I was looking for some quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche about art, and because I will never be able to remember how to spell his name, I stumbled across a site with lots of opinions about the foolishness of Christianity. I found myself reading through an “email debate” about the moral argument for God’s existence, and after awhile I got the same feeling I had after watching the movie “No Man’s Land” – a great (yet tragic) film by the way. Anyway, I guess the whole “arguing about what we believe” arena just makes me tired. All too often I’m left without any real sense that people are genuinely interested in exploration. Instead, we just end up shooting at each other, while trapped in the bunker of life. With that said, here are some of those quotes:

“We possess art lest we perish from the truth.”

“It is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are permanently justified.”

“I can only believe in a God who can dance.”
