“Epicurus called Plato and all of his followers ‘actors,’ because there was ‘nothing genuine about them.’”
—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §7 (edited excerpt).
“Apart from its moral naïveté, the faith in ‘immediate certainties’ is a stupidity that reflects little honor on us philosophers. The erroneousness of the world in which we think we live is the surest and firmest fact that we can lay eyes on.”
—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §34 (edited excerpt).
