Do all beautiful things come with thorns? Are the behavioral and emotional drawbacks and sensitivities of the most sincere human beings their spiky guards against the world?

Often the most intelligent and innovative humans are the most absurd, in common view. They are eccentric, don’t care about what others say or think, and do what they seem right. In my opinion, this eccentricity is much needed.

As Nietzsche had said once, “all superior men who were irresistibly drawn to throw off the yoke of any kind of morality and to frame new laws had, if they were not actually mad, no alternative but to make themselves or pretend to be mad.”

Books I have read: All of Nietzsche’s philosophy, Ruskin Bond’s work, The Outsider by Albert Camus. Books I want to read: A Writer’s Diary by Virginia Woolf, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Diaries by Susan Sontag, and Madame Curie: A Biography, and the progressive classic and contemporary books and auto/biographies.
