Fabulous idea for a thread. Is that second one really Nietzsche? Wow.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Monday, 21 March 2005 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah that's him. there is one without the stache that is really striking. he seems to have cultivated a pretty intimidating look for some reason. i think he resented being ill all the time.

Kierkegaard, giving Derrida a run for his money, who claimed that since he was good at nothing, he might as well become a philosopher:
http://www.essex.ac.uk/philosophy/images/kierkegaard.gif
youth and good looks hiding somber depths, however, from his journal: "I have just returned from a party of which I was the life and soul; witty banter flowed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me - but I came away, indeed that dash should be as long as the radius of the earth's orbit wanting to shoot myself."
