Stefan Zweig, "The Struggle with the Daemon:

Hölderlin, Kleist, Nietzsche" (독어판 1925; 영역본 2012)

 

"Each of Nietzsche's convictions formed a period of transition....

One of his most challenging sayings runs: 'It is a great

disadvantage for a thinker to be tied to one individuality. When

a man has succeeded in finding himself, he should try from

time to time to lose himself again, and then to seek and

find himself once more.'" (p. 285)

 

"[I]t was Jakob Burckhardt, the most intelligent among

Nietzsche's readers, who best devined his message when ...

he wrote that the latter's books had 'increased

independence in the world.'" (p. 331)
