Discussed On the Genealogy of Morals
“In the book, I use a couple of fantastic quotes from Nietzsche from Genealogy of Morals. one of his analogies that I lift is about people who pick at long-closed wounds, pick off the scabs, and then scream about how much they've been hurt. This is horribly pertinent.”

Discussed Nineteen Eighty-Four
