Description
Excerpt from Ecce Homo
As it is my intention within a very short time to con front my fellow-men with the very greatest demand that has ever yet been made upon them, it seems to me above all necessary to declare here who and what I am. As a matter of fact, this ought to be pretty well known already, for I have not held my tongue about myself. But the disparity which exists between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contem poraries, is revealed by the fact that people have neither heard me nor yet seen me. I live on my own self-made credit, and it is probably only a prejudice to suppose that I am. Alive at all. I do but require to speak to any one ol-the scholars who come to the ober-engadine in the summer in order to convince myself that I am not alive. Under these circum stances, it is a duty - and one against which my cus tomary reserve, and to a still greater degree the pride of my instincts, rebel - to say: Listen! For I am sue/z and we}: a person. For [fear/en's sake do not confound me will: any one else!
