Help with vague quote

Postby dcabo on Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:14 pm

Hi,

I was reading an article by Hakim Bey and found this:

"Nietzsche says somewhere that the free spirit will not agitate for the rules to be dropped or even reformed. One must prove (to oneself if no one else) an ability to overcome the rules of the herd, to make one's own law & yet not fall prey to the rancor & resentment of inferior souls which define law & custom in ANY society. One needs, in effect, an individual equivalent of war in order to achieve the becoming of the free spirit—one needs an inert stupidity against which to measure one's own movement & intelligence. "

Any idea which book or quote he may be referring to? I've googled around for a number of variations with no luck.

Thanks,
dcabo
