(Breuer) - I suspect you find sex disagreeable?
(Nietzche) - I do not object to sex. What I hate is the man who begs for it. He surrenders himself to some crafty woman, who turns his lust into her strings.
(Breuer) - Lust is part of life!
(Nietzche) - And nothing must interfere with the development of the hero which is inside you! And if lust stands in the way, lust must be overcome!
(Breuer) - Unfortunatelly, the theatrical director of my mind, the one who stages all these scenes with Bertha is unaffected by reason.
(Nietzche) - Of course not. For what reason will a man could love such a cripple?
