I never thought I'd actually have a favorite part of Nietzche...but...the part that I like most is this:
"The most convincing example of the latter is the German word schlecht (bad) itself: which is identical with schlicht (plain, simple) - compare with schlechtweg (plainly), schlechterdings (simply)..." page 28.
I never thought to think about how words relate to one another. The origins of words and their roots is fascinating. I never thought of that.
One point for Nietzche. But only one.

Originally I never thought I would have a favorite part of Nietzsche either, but I have found it. Although its not the language, I enjoy hearing Nietzsche's thoughts on promises and forgetfullness.
