Truth, Knowledge, and Wisdom

From Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
Wisdom is wild and dangerous; truth is fought for, not given. Knowledge serves life and is opposed by the 'spirit of gravity.'
Part III, 'On the Spirit of Gravity'

The spirit of gravity as Zarathustra's devil; the call to self-knowledge as one's own way.
