His words live on. And bad b****es reading em for their philosophy requirement class in college. And when they hate on him or call him a whiny loser. You tell them your poetic and melancholic interpretation of him. And they get wet and vulnerable with you so you can be hard and vulnerable with them cause they think you’re a misunderstood tortured soul. And they want to be the only one who really understands you on an intimate level(Since their ego leads them to believe they are the only one capable of that! Ha!). And when you get p****, Nietzsche gets p**** through you

His arch rival Zarathustra arguably did

Lived in his head rent free that he wrote a whole book and titled it Thus spoke Zarathustra

People have never asked me as they should have done, what the name of Zarathustra precisely meant in my mouth, in the mouth of the first immoralist; for that which distinguishes this Persian from all others in the past is the very fact that he was the exact reverse of an immoralist. Zarathustra was the first to see in the struggle between good and evil the essential wheel in the working of things. The translation of morality into the realm of metaphysics, as force, cause, end-in-itself, is his work. But the very question suggests its own answer. Zarathustra created this most portentous of all errors,—morality; therefore he must be the first to expose it. Not only because he has had longer and greater experience of the subject than any other thinker,—all history is indeed the experimental refutation of the theory of the so-called moral order of things,—but because of the more important fact that Zarathustra was the most truthful of thinkers. In his teaching alone is truthfulness upheld as the highest virtue—that is to say, as the reverse of the cowardice of the "idealist" who takes to his heels at the sight of reality. Zarathustra has more pluck in his body than all other thinkers put together. To tell the truth and to aim straight: that is the first Persian virtue. Have I made myself clear? ... The overcoming of morality by itself, through truthfulness, the moralist's overcoming of himself in his opposite—in me—that is what the name Zarathustra means in my mouth.
