Nietzsche: "One loses force by sympathising. The loss of force which suffering has already brought upon life is still further increased and multiplied by sympathy." Hardy: "But force has no virtue in itself." Nietzsche: "Under certain circumstances a total loss of life and vital energy may be brought about by sympathy, such as stands in an absurd proportion to the extent of the cause (the case of the death of the Nazarene.)" Hardy: "And why not?"
