Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.

Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: howeve

Summary

This quote suggests that human beings are often unable to let go of their past experiences or memories. No matter how much they try to distance themselves from the past, the influence of their previous actions and emotions continues to haunt them. It implies that the past shapes and follows us, creating an inescapable connection that cannot be easily broken. Whether it is through regrets, nostalgia, or longing, man remains tethered to their history, ultimately emphasizing the lasting impact of past decisions on present and future actions.

High culture is nothing but a child of that European perversion called history, the obsession we have with going forward, with considering the sequence of generations a relay race in which everyone surpasses his predecessor, only to be surpassed by his successor. Without this relay race called history there would be no European art and what characterizes it: a longing for originality, a longing for change. Robespierre, Napoleon, Beethoven, Stalin, Picasso, they're all runners in the relay race, they all belong to the same stadium.
