Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

I and me are always too deeply in conversation: how could I endure it,if there were not a friend?The friend of the hermit is always the third one: the third one is the float which prevents the conversation of the two from sinking into the depth.

I and me are always too deeply in conversation: how could I

Summary

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche highlights the importance of having a friend as a third party in a conversation between oneself (I) and one's own thoughts (me). The constant internal dialogue can become overwhelming without the presence of a friend who acts as a mediator. The friend serves as a buoyant force, preventing the conversation from becoming too introspective or sinking into despair. They bring an external perspective that can provide balance and help navigate the depths of self-reflection.
