Also Sprach Zarathustra: (...) and even yet when one hears anybody praised, because he lives 'wisely', or 'as a philosopher', it hardly means anything more than 'prudently and apart'. Wisdom: that seems to the populace to be a kind of flight, a means and artifice for withdrawing successfully from a bad game; but the genuine philosopher - does it not seem so to us, my friends? - lives 'unphilosophically' and 'unwisely', above all, imprudently, and feels the obligation and burden of a hundred attempts and temptations of life - he risks himself constantly, he plays this bad game.
