Nietzsche's "The Case Of Wagner"

Thanks to the X-Factor, Nietzsche's rather boring philosophical text has been transformed into comedy gold!

Here's some choice quotes I picked out...

‎"Through Wagner modernity speaks most intimately, concealing neither its good nor its evil - having forgotten all sense of shame"

"To turn my back on Wagner was for me a fate; to like anything at all again after that, a triumph"

"Is Wagner a human being at all? Isn't he rather a sickness? He makes sick whatever he touches - he has made music sick - "

"In this essay I declare war upon Wagner - and incidentally upon a German 'taste'"

"Wagner was courage, the will, conviction in corruption"
