But Confucius is so much more confusing than Nietzsche!
Wait. Are you reading the Aphorisms or something? Those are rather random, but some of them are amusing. "Tourists.--They climb mountains like animals, stupid and sweating; one has forgotten to tell them that there are beautiful things on the way up."
And I rather like the opening of the first essay of the Genealogy on Morals: "These English psychologists, whom one has also to thank for the only attempts hitherto to arrive at a history or the origin of morality--they themselves are no easy riddle; I confess that, as living riddles, they even possess one essential advantage over their books--they are interesting!"
Erhem.
I mean, I'm sorry that you have to read 300+ pages of Nietzsche (that does seem a bit much) and that you've got an essay to write. (I'm currently not writing an essay, too. :P)
no subject

At least your essay isn't on Nietzsche like mine?
