Prescient

Agreed

Like him or not, don't judge Nietzsche based on this quotation. He never said it.

Crusaders in Constantinople weren't fond of the locals' book selection??? russia in Ukraine is only burning the books they don't like??? I still remember copying books that were smuggled into my country by hand and knew people who were tortured and imprisoned for it.

Sure… beginning in Constantinople…

True, but this man also created a false version of masculinity that the men have yet to recover from.

wow so deep

This is a great rule, it'll weed out a lot of reactionaries that argue in bad faith.

Not a true quote, I think, but something he should have said.

Quoted wrong title in earlier reply-- I think the Evangelische and E&R traditions tended more towards theological liberalism in that period, ef. Albert Schweitzer and the Niebuhr Bros. If anything, his experience instilled a disdain for mindless religion, which is very Evangelische.

Possibly?

Or worse, HAS read it but only cares about the parts that nurture straight white male dominance over everything to the exclusion of virtually all Jesus' path and teachings.

Attribute questionable, but sentiment spot on

Love this

Close your bible and open your mind!

True words.

Apology for the misattribution!

Rather than argue semantics, let's consider the value of the proposition. Does it withstand scrutiny?

She collected his notes and published some of his works, but there's no reason to think she contributed anything other than that.

We can show there is no written evidence proving he did say it, and happily there is no need to prove he didn't!

I though as much

The former includes Dolly Parton's Imagination Library recipients.

He never said that. Stop spreading lies.

OOOHH BURN! Bible or US Constitution - take your pick.

There's actually no evidence he said that, but it is a fine sentiment!

“Without music, life would be a mistake.” — Nietzsche when Nietzsche got to heaven what did he say to God? "I was joking, you know me, I'm a prankster!"

For all you so called Bible thumpers out there🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This is 100% true

Trump...Bible. he's never read any of it.

Well, whoever said it was correct.

AMEN TO THAT!!!

I got almost every diary of a wimpy kid book ever made. Behind on the newest ones though

Personally,I like the Bible and library. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. I also don't give a damn what Nietzsche thinks.

This is not a Nietzsche quote. It doesn’t even match his writing style.

Amen (she says with a giggle)

I like smart people

Unfortunately, Good Night Moon doesn’t count for adults. Most Americans cannot read at or above a 6th grade reading level. Sadly, the chipping away at public education has doomed the US to its present state - a country that is deteriorating rapidly vis-vis the rest of developed nations.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster Friedrich Nietzsche

The Bible by definition is many books in one.

#NeverStopLearning 📚

Many of us are aware of this statement but many of us are living in staged life out of fear.

Or at least has never read beyond 'In the beginning' but wants to hold it as truth to beat anyone/everyone with if they do not postulate for the church and their sky fairy.

You should not be afraid of someone who has a library and reads many books; you should be afraid of someone who kept only one book on the cabinet by his bed & that book was "My New Order", collected speeches of Hitler.

What about a guy who brags about having never read a book and holds the Bible upside down in front of a DC church for a photo op to show how Christian he is? The same guy cannot quote or even name a single verse from said Bible when asked his favorite during an interview.

So absolutely true.

I read these books last year 1. Deep work 2. Dhyan sutra - osho 3. The great Indian heist 4. Build don't talk 5. The Meditation

Gotta respect that!

😦

Amen!

and he's never read it because he never learned to read.

It’s better to keep it closed.

Especially if he's the leader of a country and that book is Mein Kampf.... Am I wrong here?

The Bible comes to mind.

I wonder what book he was referring to????

#FauxNietsche

True

Never fully read it… and certainly doesn’t understand what little they may have read….

What we’ve learned, SINCE:… Or •SHUD• have… … “We should be TERRIFIED of someone who only has •ONE• Book? … AND… Doesn’t even •UNDERSTAND• what THAT Book, is trying to •SAY!•”* *SEE ALSO- “Doesn’t CARE, what it says”, Because: OTHER AGENDA!

The quote accuses someone of never having read their only book, yet it was apparently attributed to Nietzsche by people who themselves never managed to locate the book in which he supposedly wrote it. 🥴

Was he referring to the communist manifesto?

Trump had one book he kept bedside that he read according to his late wife. It was a book of hitler's speeches.

💯💯💯

He would've had quite a field day with Trump😒

*COUGH* (the bible)

Brilliant

Nietszche never, ever made this statement. Try again.

I’m gonna get a library card !

He must read it‼️

Have we all read that Germany passed out Nietzsche's books to it's soldiers in WWI? wordlight.net/nietzsche.html

If evangelicals could read they would be very upset.

He did not say this

Trump talks about the Bible often. He obviously has never read any of it, especially the New Testament. He has used it as a prop and then huckstered his “Trump “ Bible. He probably has never read any book cover to cover. His ignorance is glaring.

We really ought to do something about these misattributed quotes.

💙

It's not Nietzsche. It sounds like a sentiment of his or maybe more Thomas Aquinas, but definitely not my Nietzsche 😍😍😍 he may have had issues with women but I have zero issues with him. He was brilliant and understood the human mind more than most. He also heavily influenced Anton LaVey.

Or even if they have read that one book, because it's pure horseshit.

That's what every MAGA cult voter has ,just one supposedly sacred book that they judge by the cover and never even read one page of it . It's the ignorant people like that we all have to watch out for . People who fatuously,believe in pseudoscience ,and misinformation from wannabe dictators

It worked for me 🙂

So true...

Nietzsche had his lucid moments.

Are they also "standing up" for the women working in the sweat shops that manufactured a lot of the clothing that they are selling too?

The 1958 Haynes shop manual for Crysler models from 1952-57? How else am I gonna level my coffee table?

What an ass!
