Luckily, I have on hand my copy of Twilight Of The Idols, and I can let Nietzsche have his say on this!

That's the problem with Nietzsche: he has some ideas that I agree with, but he doesn't express them clearly. And for some reason this makes his writing "deep".

Nietzche is dead. Therefore he was weak. Therefore he was wrong.
