上学期旁听了一节关于尼采的课，非常感动，对我来说仿佛是一种artistic experience。尼采和Spinoza是上学期对我影响巨大的两位作家（尽管他们写作风格迥异）。这学期也许是由于没受到足够的人文滋养，感觉实在是撑不下去了...尼采的文字仿佛是让我在焦躁时刻获得平静力量的清泉，于是抽空继续看尼采的Untimely Meditations以及Thus Spoke Zarathustra，决定在这里对其中印象深刻的内容进行琐碎的摘抄。（部分摘抄来自于Professor Wellbery的课堂笔记整理。）

-On the uses and disanvantages of hostory for life

On forgetfulness: 

“Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by: they do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. This is a hard sight for man to see; for, though he thinks himself better than the animals because he is human, he cannot help envying them their happiness – what they have, a life neither bored nor painful, is precisely what he wants, yet he cannot have it because he refuses to be like an animal…
[Man] also wonders at himself, that he cannot learn to forget but clings relentlessly to the past: however far and fast he may run, this chain runs with him. And it is a matter for wonder: a moment, now here and then gone, nothing before it came, again nothing after it has gone, nonetheless returns as a ghost and disturbs the peace of a later moment. A leaf flutters from the scroll of time, floats away – and suddenly floats back again and falls into the man’s lap. Then the man says ‘I remember’ and envies the animal, who at once forgets and for whom every moment really dies, sinks back into night and fog and is extinguished forever.”
