Forest paths — flat labyrinths — and gentle plains invite the walker’s body to softness, to languor. And memories arise like eddying mists. The air is more bracing with Nietzsche, and above all sharp, transparent. The thought is trenchant, the body wide awake, trembling.

About This Quote

The thought is trenchant, the body wide awake, trembling. The word trenchant means cutting or piercing into something with a sharp point. Nietzsche is an author whose ideas are piercing and cutting. He talks about life and how it is not easy for people to live their lives with no regrets.

To live life to its fullest, people must be willing to make mistakes and learn from them. If they do not make mistakes, they will not be able to grow as people.
