When Nietzsche Wept2007

Lou Salome:
Fascinating lecture to fall on so few ears. Why are people so afraid of you, Professor?

Nietzsche:
Oh, Truth is a fearsome thing.

Lou Salome:
Why do you say, 'God is dead', and not that He never existed?

Nietzsche:
What do you think?

Lou Salome:
That God has ceased to be a reckoning force in people's lives.

Nietzsche:
An interesting interpretation.

Lou Salome:
But if God is dead, then everything is permissible. No morals, no rules. Without God, who will organise our society? What is the solution to your 'Godless' proposition?

Nietzsche:
[laughs] Well, from what stars have we dropped down to each other here? [kisses her hand] Auf wiedersehen!
