    Women of the Romance Countries John Robert Effinger 1901

  • In fact, the philosopher has long been mistaken and confused by the multitude, either with the scientific man and ideal scholar, or with the religiously elevated, desensualized, desecularized visionary and God - intoxicated man; and even yet when one hears anybody praised, because he lives "wisely," or "as a philosopher," it hardly means anything more than "prudently and apart."

    Beyond Good and Evil Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche 1872
