I live in a town house not far from Jerusalem. Downstairs there is a basement where I keep the books I have collected over a period of some fifty years. Starting at the time when I was a student in 1964-71 and ending when Kindle took over some years ago. While the basement is large, my study is on the small side. That is why, each time I decide to write a new book on a new topic, the books start changing places. Some go down, others up. It is a bit like playing musical chairs.
Some books only stay with me for a short time before being returned to their grave. Others remain longer. A few are always upstairs; a bit like old friends whom one does not want to lose out of sight. Prominent among them are those of Friedrich Nietzsche. I consider him one of the greatest philosophers of all times. Also, as the only one beside Plato and Lao Tzu whose works, besides being profound, aspire to the highest aesthetic quality as well. That is something you cannot say of almost all the rest.
Today it just pleases me to quote some of the things he has written about women. If you like them, as I do, be my guest; if not, don’t. One thing is certain: his words on this topic, as on so many others, will endure longer than you will. Or I for that matter.
