Description
"He does not love the things he knows...there remains for him nothing left of knowledge to hunt down except the absolutely detrimental...like the drunkard who ends up drinking absinthe. Thus in the end he lusts after Hell--it is the last knowledge that seduces him. And it too proves a disillusionment, like all knowledge!...for the whole universe has not a single crumb left to give to this hungry man." -- Nietzschemattspiredotcom [link]

Pictures cool,like straight outta Gaiman's Sandman if there was a story about Delirium in cyberspace.The Nietzsche quotes creeps me out though.Anyone knows what it means?.

Such a creepy and bizarre piece. Great use of the pages and diagrams in the background, but i do love the rather damaged or fragmented person in it too- like knowledge is a bad thing because it has bad effects as well as good.

Something along those lines.
He does not love the things he knows, but has spirit and appetite for an enjoyment of the chase and intrigues of knowledgeβup to the highest and remotest stars of knowledge!βuntil at last there remains to him nothing of knowledge left to hunt down except the absolutely detrimental; he is like the drunkard who ends by drinking absinthe and aqua fortis. Thus in the end he lusts after Hellβit is the last knowledge that seduces him. But it too proves a disillusionment, like all knowledge! The whole universe has not a single morsel left to give to this hungry man. β Nietzsche
