Sils Maria, July 2, 1885: Letter to Franz Overbeck

Dear old friend Overbeck,

[....] I have been dictating almost every day for two or three hours. But my “philosophy"—if I have the right to call what tortures me to the very roots of my being by that name—is no longer communicable, at least not by means of print. [....] Besides, our age is endlessly superficial, and I am often ashamed of myself for having already said so much publicly which at no time, even in far worthier and profounder ages, would have been appropriate for “public” consumption. This century’s shamelessly “free press” is enough to ruin anyone’s instincts and good taste. I hold up before myself the images of Dante and Spinoza, who were better at accepting the lot of solitude. Of course, their way of thinking, compared to mine, was one which made solitude bearable; and in the end, for all those who somehow still had a “God” for company, what I experience as “solitude” really did not yet exist. My life now consists in the wish that it might be otherwise with all things than I comprehend, and that somebody might make my “truths” appear incredible to me. — — [....]
