“Videri quam esse” (“To seem to be, rather than to be”)
I'm strange but i like to be a good strange, My name is Clarence, born in 1988, Pisces and I'm a student of Sociology and the child of the internet. I usually feel like my life has no meaning and i want to die but sometimes it seems like life is worth living for and i love everything in it. If it seems odd to read think what it might be like living it. I like reading philosophy, fiction and tech news.
This Blog is where i collect all the the weird and interesting links from around the net, its not meant to be that serious and just fun. If you stop by here you can enjoy comics, tech, current events, sociology, a little pornography (or erotica if you prefer to call it that) and more weird stuff. Please feel free to tell he what you like and dislike about the site and more of what you want to see.
Please feel free to talk to me by letter in my ask or by following me on other social networks but please just throw me a message WHO YOU ARE.
By the By it goes without saying you should make sure children don't read most of this.

All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
Friedrich Nietzsche (via dude-you-are-rad)

“Active men are generally wanting in the higher activity: I mean that of the individual. They are active as officials, businessmen, scholars, and other generic creatures, but not as distinct individuals or unique human beings; in this regard they are lazy. Thus at all times, men are divided into the slaves and the free; for he who does not have two-thirds of his day to himself is a slave, let him be what he may otherwise: a generic creature.”
—Human, All Too Human: Vol. 1, §283 (edited excerpt).
Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.
Friedrich Nietzsche (via ceecrets)
Man…braces himself against the great and ever greater pressure of what is past: it pushes him down or bends him sideways, it encumbers his steps as a dark, invisible burden which he can sometimes appear to disown and which in traffic with his fellow men he is only too glad to disown, so as to excite their envy.

We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge—and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves—how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves?

“People who are only religious understand even science as a seeking on the part of the religious feeling, just as the deaf-and-dumb do not know what music is if it is not visible movement.”
—Human, All Too Human: Vol. 1, §281 (excerpt).
The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.
