To be Profound and to Appear Profound by Friedrich Nietzsche Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1882

Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity; those who would like to appear profound to the crowd strive for obscurity. The crowd thinks everything is profound where it cannot see the bottom - it is so timid and dislikes going into the water.
