    (you know who has read it and who hasn’t after you have read it)

    By the hollow look in the eyes of the ones who have read his works?

        I resent the fact that I read him and understood what he was saying.

        What I wouldn’t give for the blissful ignorance of those for whom his works are just word salad or the insane ramblings of a deranged lunatic…

        I would trade my soul for that, only I already lost my soul by reading and understanding Nietzsche.

        They should really put his books in the “restricted section,” sealed with an ouroboros, and a warning that says “the words contained herein are dangerous. Discretion is advised.”
