And yet he sings high praises of the concept of amor fati in his autobiography, Ecce Homo, calling it "his formula for greatness in man." Of course, what I have read of that book seems pretty absurd, he states that "no one can point to any moment of my life in which I have assumed an arrogant or a pathetic attitude." Full of ourselves much? Never? I am unsure my eyebrow was meant to climb this high up my face. Perhaps I should read the whole thing though, as I only looked it up because of a quote I once saw, I wanted to know where it came from and was like WTF? But mostly it seems like a book full of "everyone else sucks and I am awesome and here's why" and actually it kind of reminds me of the guy in the White House right now talking about "people who didn't even cry when they were babies." Not saying he never had any good ideas, but damn dude LOL. Also "I'm not arrogant but the next chapter shall be titled 'Why I Write Such Excellent Books'" ....I'm dying over here.
I haven't read that one either, but my understanding from doing almost no research as that those titles were written with his tongue firmly in cheek.
