The Movie Of My Life – Film Noir
Well this makes sense. You know, Nietzsche styled himself as Polish nobility.
The clan came out of Poland, like so many other families of Eastern Germany, at the time of the sad, vain wars. Legend maintains that it was noble in its day and Nietzsche himself liked to think so. The name, says Elisabeth, was originally Nietzschy. “Germany is a great nation,” Nietzsche would say, “only because its people have so much Polish blood in their veins…. I am proud of my Polish descent. I remember that in former times a Polish noble, by his simple veto, could overturn the resolution of a popular assembly. There were giants in Poland in the time of my forefathers.” He wrote a tract with the French title L’Origine de la famille de Nietzsche and presented the manuscript to his sister, as a document to be treasured and held sacred. She tells us that he was fond of maintaining that the Nietzsches had suffered greatly and fallen from vast grandeur for their opinions, religious and political. He had no proof of this, but it pleased him to think so. — The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche by Henry Louis Mencken
