Without music, life would be a mistake.
[Speech] WITHOUT MUSIC, LIFE WOULD BE A MISTAKE. - Friedrich Nietzsche’s Celebration of Music
Music as an essential aspect of life
Friedrich Nietzsche, a profound critic of traditional morality and religion, famously stated that "Without music, life would be a mistake" in his book "Twilight of the Idols." This declaration reflects Nietzsche’s view of music as fundamental to human experience and a necessary form of expression and emotional release. His philosophical writings often discussed the power of art and music to transcend everyday reality and offer a glimpse into deeper truths about existence.
