Nevertheless! Nevertheless, my friends, Nietzsche was an original thinker. At the
very least, there was---something---to him. What? That his Eternal Return is worthy
of consideration? "Once more!"---that is worthy of respect?---And why? Constant
stupidity is something to be proud of? Or has Nietzsche, once more, misinterpreted
philosophy in order to cure and---I shudder to say this---justify his sickness?---
And yet let us have mercy on him: he was too stupid to recognize that the Eternal
Return was the Buddhist's recognition of stupidity and self-deception.---

Anything remotely: spiritual was met with this man by a sneer, a laugh, and an
outflow of criticism. Nietzsche was vain, as we all recognize; but there was also
that vice that rendered him all the more unprofitable for us unfree, very unfree
philosophers: he was commited to untruth. So much so that when salvation was
offered to him with sense-experience as noblest truth, most sublime truth, he
slapped a damask onto it, chuckled, and proclaimed---this---botchery highest
truth.---If I may be so bold as to use an analogy: Nietzsche veered from the
roadway to truth, careened down a steep valley, and considered this: moving towards
the correct way.
