Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759)

Él, junto a Mozart, Vivaldi y Beethoven, son responsables de lo que yo soy como persona. Considerado uno de los más grandes genios del Barroco, fue la primera música que escuché en mi vida, estando en el vientre de mi mamá. Y a Händel le tengo un amor excepcional. Es, posiblemente, mi compositor favorito of all times.

Why not a philosophers-with-hammers day?

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (Oct. 15, 1844 – 1900)…

“Men were thought of as free so that they could become guilty: consequently, every action had to be thought of as willed, the origin of every action as lying in the consciousness… …Today, when we have started to move in the reverse direction, when we immoralists especially are trying with all our might to remove the concept of guilt and the concept of punishment from the world and to purge psychology, history, nature, the social institutions and sanctions of them, there is in our eyes no more radical opposition than that of the theologians, who continue to infect the innocence of becoming with ‘punishment’ and ‘guilt’ by means of the concept of the ‘moral world-order’. Christianity is a hangman’s metaphysics.” Twilight of the Idols: The Four Great Errors

“I’ll tell you one of the reasons I’m ready to leave [the movie business]. When I first came to Hollywood five years ago, my makeup call was at eight in the morning. On this movie it has been put back to seven-thirty. Every day I see Joan Crawford, who’s been in makeup since five, and Loretta Young, who’s been there since four in the morning. I’ll be goddamned if I’m going to stay in a business where I have to get up earlier and earlier and it takes longer and longer for me to get in front of a camera.”
