NIETZSCHE: I am dynamite!

Christopher Jones says: "After all these Nietzsche related postings, I sat down and came across this amazing quote. Some have called Nietzsche in different postings despicable, miserable, sick, pitiful, weak and an envious little man. Obviously, I don't agree.

"I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful, of a crisis like no other before on earth, of the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified. I am not a man. I am dynamite." -- FW Nietzsche, Ecce Homo.

RH:
Anyone who says he is dynamite has a problem. Dynamite was invented in 1866 by Alfred Nobel. It was a novelty in Nietzsche's time. Today he would say "I am a hydrogen bomb". Juxtaposing that with the title, which refers to Jesus Christ, does seem a little odd.
