While reading one of Nietzsche’s books today, I came across one section that reminded of a previous post I had written on the importance of the independent mind. It is the fictional character Zarathustra that also spoke to encourage independent thinking when he said:
“Now I go alone, my disciples! You too now go away and alone! So I will it.
Truly, I advise you: go away from me and guard yourselves against Zarathustra! And better still: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he has deceived you.
…One repays a teacher badly if one remains always only a student.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, pg 68-69
