It's a great feeling, isn't it? I felt the same way when I read Dostoyevsky. I love Nietzsche's quote about faith and objective truth in the letter he wrote to his sister in his 21st year. Amazing.

: It was a while before I stumbled across 'The

: that there is not more of an interest in the

: A few years ago, I went through... a

: 'Excommunicated'. Once that foundation had

: thoughts to contend with. They (the

: Nietzsche'. I had never heard that name

: Over and over again i saw what i had written
