Unfortunately, Nietzsche wasn't as strong as Pippi (quite the opposite in fact), so all he did on seeing the man with his horse was faint. I still like the way the scene found its way into a childrens' book. There are several illusions to other philosophers in it too.

Unless you never focus from that point towards stuff. The art of making it through the day babbling about stuff without any use .. (hmm .. does that sound familiar?)

Probably wouldn't get very far being a girl. And, of course, not being a time lord. Wonderful picture though. I think this one might be my favourite of Derren's. You can't help both loving and hating Nietzsche can you? Love him and his thinking- with all his flaws. Hate how his philosophy was misinterpretted and manipulated to bring about some horrific occurences. Happy Death Day Nietzsche x

Some really powerful ideas about essentially doing what is right, but doing it because you want to snot because society says you should. Society is transient but individual endeavour is timeless.
