To choose evil is to choose freedom—“freedom, emancipation from all restraint.”

On Nietzsche (1945)

It is the positive practice of freedom, not the negative struggle against particular oppression, that has lifted me above a mutilated existence.

On Nietzsche (1945)

Life is whole only when it isn’t subordinate to a specific object that exceeds it. In this way, the essence of entirety is freedom.

On Nietzsche (1945)
