Someone like Nietzsche can only be appreciated by independent spirits; spirits, if not fond of original thought, free enough to detach themselves from the psychological and moral chains of their time. These are rare, very rare, and for this reason the irruption of a Nietzsche is like the explosion of a bomb, generating mass scandal and repulsion. The prevailing thought is always dictated by captive minds of the fifth category, minds that are horrified by the original. And the curious thing is to note that time, which overcomes everything and transforms everything, seems powerless to alter this distinctive feature of every civilization.
