I went to the recycling centre this morning. Always worth looking in the wheelie bin of books to see if someone is throwing away a gem. I gazed into this last bin in the line…and the bin gazed also into me!

Picture description: A drawing of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche pushing an old-fashioned looking vacuum cleaner across the floor, one hand rather nonchalantly in his pocket. In a speech bubble, he is thinking, "God I hate this thing". Below the drawing is the handwritten text, "Nietzsche abhors a vacuum".
Once people believed in prophets and astrologers: and therefore people believed: 'Everything is fate: you shall, for you must!'
Then again people mistrusted prophets and astrologers: therefore people believed: 'Everything is freedom : you can, for you will'
Very slow read..Been stuck half way for almost a month..

#QuotsyApr19 Day 4: The #peril of heartbreak and the desire to be free. I own a Folio Society edition of this book that has been languishing on my shelves unread. 😭
This book has been over for 15 minutes, yet it just keeps going. So cruel! Please stop 😭
We‘ve been reading Nietzsche and that‘s the Cecil Summary. But does using the phrase “basic bitch” make us basic at this point? Or did we not get the gist of this book? #catsoflitsy #philosophy
Cecil is practicing his wise, old philosopher look as we listen to Zarathustra.

pickMy husband read this book aloud to me. I'm not sure if this is the reason I loved the book so much or if I actually loved it. I love when that man reads to me. 😍 #husbandsoflitsy #whentwobookloversgetmarried
pickI'm glad I made it through Nietzsche in one piece.
Soooo, my tattoo artist, whom I tutored this semester in his nursing courses passed his classes with an overall 92% told me he would give me free ink for my help. This is a take on what I'm having him tat on me. A stack of my favorite books.
