To read his words is to see how he thinks, to watch his mind at work. The rage and the loneliness are the fuel, the restless mind is the talent, but the sentences he taught himself to construct, by trial and error, by repetition and borrowing, they are the magic in print and they are the sword that he uses to cut through ignorance and phoniness.
He read last night about Mike Tyson and a gorgeous-looking female porn star. They both read philosophy and adore Nietzsche. All suffering souls discover Nietzsche sooner or later. Like him, they were attracted to the abyss and self-destruction. Like him, they didn't give in to nihilism. They eventually said yes to life, to the will to transcend and transform. And like him, there's a certain narcissism in everything they do. The truth of the matter is the first love and infatuation one must have is oneself. It's far healthier than self-loathing.
