"May I be forgiven the discovery that all moral philosophy so far has been boring and was a soporific and that 'virtue' has been impaired more for me by its boring advocates than by anything else, though I am not denying their general utility. It is important that as few people as possible should think about morality; hence it is very important that morality should not one day become interesting."
--Beyond Good and Evil, sec. 228.
[If you are wondering why I posted this, there's no reason, other than we were doing this chapter today in the Nietzsche reading group I run with Michael Forster, and this struck me as amusing!]
