Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
I consist of body and soul - in the worlds of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children? But the enlightened, the knowledgealbe would say: I am body through and through, nothing more; and the soul is just a word for something on the body.
Summary
This quote suggests a perspective that embraces the innocence and simplicity of a child's understanding. It challenges the enlightened and knowledgeable who dismiss the concept of a soul as merely a word to describe something within the body. The speaker implies that speaking like children, acknowledging both body and soul, is a valid and perhaps more genuine way of perceiving oneself.
