whoever will eventually shock the world will be deeply silent for a long time; Whoever will light the lightning will wander like a cloud for a long time. -Nietzsche

About the origin of this famous saying, explore its ins and outs. First of all, there is no doubt that the original text comes from Nietzsche, but because it is a translation, the translated version is different.

(Selected Poems of Nietzsche, translated by Qian Chunqi, Lijiang Publishing House, 1986, p. 51)

People who have a lot to say one day

Author: [Germany] Nietzsche

People who have a lot to say one day,

often keep a lot of words in their hearts silently;

One day, people who want to light lightning sparks must

be a cloud in the sky for a long time.

translated by Qian Chunqi
