By John Paul, Bronx, NY

"this is a great book, even thought the title is misleading, it's a book about philosophy. Nietzsche is to me one of greatest philosophers in history. he thinks that science and society should not be so set in stone. the way Nietzsche expresses his views is confusing and difficult. it requires a large amount of logic. the reason it's difficult is because he contradicts himself a lot of times throughout the book. he also uses poetry to incorporate his ideas. this book is truly for a lover of philosophy."

"gay = light-hearted defiance of convention and revaluation of customary values. science = serious, disciplined, weighty, traditional search for knowledge. gay science = be ready to bob and weave because it's that real out. although i'm no fan of tattoos, i occasionally consider getting "gay science" tattooed on my body, because i think it would be really funny. i guess part of what's funny about it is how grossly it would be misinterpreted. accordingly, i was thinking some tupac-looking lettering would be good for the tattoo, because i tend to think of nietzsche as being rather gangster when it comes to the history of human thought."

"My favorite Nietzsche book: Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder?

- Thus spoke the madman in the market place!"

By D.S., San Francisco, CA

"Aphorisms abound in this crucial translation of one of Nietzsche's most important texts. This is the birthplace of the eternal return. Homeland to the phrase "Live dangerously!" I am also told by my friend, Blixa, that Klaus Kinski has sung and recorded some of the songs, but that these recordings are nearly impossible to track down. A project for Herzog no doubt. Must read for any Nietzsche lover/scholar and not a bad book to pick up for the rest. Women needn't fear the misunderstandings mistaken for severe misogyny - these too can be revalued and reconstrued. Reacting negatively, however, will prove his point all the more."
