NIETZSCHE
"THE ARTIST'S SENSE OF TRUTH: IN REGARD TO KNOWLWDGE OF TRUTHS, THE ARTIST POSSESSES A WEAKER MORALITY THAN THE THINKER; HE DOES NOT WISH TO BE DEPRIVED OF GLITTERING, PROFOUND INTERPRETATIONS OF LIFE AND GUARDS AGAINST SIMPLE AND SOBER METHODS AND RESULTS. HE APPEARS TO BE FIGHTING ON BEHALF OF GREATER DIGNITY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF MAN; IN REALITY HE REFUSES TO GIVE UP THE PRESUPPOSITIONS WHICH ARE MOST EFFICACIOUS FOR HIS ART, THAT IS TO SAY, THE FANTASTIC, MYTHICAL, UNCERTAIN, EXTREME, THE SENSE FOR THE SYMBOLICAL, THE OVERESTIMATION OF THE PERSON, THE BELIEF IN SOMETHING MIRACULOUS IN GENIUS: HE THUS CONSIDERS THE PERPETUATION OF HIS MODE OF CREATION MORE IMPORTANT THAN SCIENTIFC DEVOTION TO THE TRUE IN ANY FORM, HOWEVER PLAINLY THIS MAY APPEAR."
