NIETZSCHE

NIETZSCHE
....... In 1868, he jotted down the head "Self-Observation" the following sentences:

"It is deceiving
Know yourself
By action, not by observation
Observation saps your energy: it corrodes and crumbles.
Instinct is best.

He paused and thought over what he had written. Did self-observation really just impede and subvert? After observing his self-observation, he realized that it had worked to his benefit. "Self-observation a weapon against influences from without," he appended.


Freud used to say of him that “he had a more penetrating knowledge of himself than any other man who ever lived or was even likely to live
