This quote has guided me for much of my life:
” . . . [H]is disciple cried impetuously: ‘But I believe in your cause and consider it so strong that I shall say everything, everything that I still have in my mind against it.’
The innovator laughed in his heart and wagged a finger at him. ‘This kind of discipleship,’ he said, ‘is the best; but it is also the most dangerous, and not every kind of doctrine can endure it.'”
Friederich Nietzsche – The Gay Science (1882) Sec 106 “Music as an Advocate”
Can you elaborate further on your translation? Not sure I understand this entirely.
I used Chrome to translate the article.
