>On seeing a young man behaving in a way he considered effeminate, Diogenes is said to have rebuked him: 'Are you not ashamed … that your own intention about yourself should be worse than nature's: for nature made you a man, but you are forcing yourself to play the woman.'

What would you give a man who has everything?

>Plato was discoursing on his theory of ideas and, pointing to the cups on the table before him, said while there are many cups in the world, there is only one ‘idea’ of a cup, and this cupness precedes the existence of all particular cups. “I can see the cup on the table,” interrupted Diogenes, “but I can’t see the ‘cupness’.” "That's because you have the eyes to see the cup," said Plato, "but", tapping his head with his forefinger, "you don't have the intellect with which to comprehend ‘cupness’.” Diogenes walked up to the table, examined a cup and, looking inside, asked, "Is it empty?" Plato nodded. “Where is the ‘emptiness’ which precedes this empty cup?” asked Diogenes. Plato allowed himself a few moments to collect his thoughts, but Diogenes reached over and, tapping Plato's head with his finger, said “I think you will find here is the ‘emptiness’.”

Neetzschay only works up to the gay science. He couldn't handle The Greatest Weight and went of the deep end after TSZ. The post Z works are good for a laugh though- if you like laughing at schizos that is. I prefer Pessoa for that though.
