The point is to … live one’s life in the full complexity of what one is, which is something much darker, more contradictory, more of maelstrom of impulses and passions, of cruelty, ecstasy, and madness, than is apparent to the civilised being who glides on the surface and fits smoothly into the world.
Thomas Nagel, summarising the teaching of Nietzsche
