World Literature

One should speak only when one may not remain silent; and then speak only of that which one has overcome—everything else is chatter, “literature,” lack of breeding. My writings speak only of my overcomings: “I” am in them, together with everything that was hostile to me, ego ipsissimus, indeed, even if a yet prouder expression be permitted, ego ipsissimum [”ego ipsissimus”: my very own self; “ego ipsissimum”: my innermost self].
From Nietzsche’s Preface to Mixed Opinions and Maxims (1886)
