"Art isgiven to us in order not to die from the truth" - Friedrich Nietzsche

For Nietzsche, the two constituents of our being, the two attitudes to life are the Dionysian and the Apollonian. Closeness to nature, instinct and passion mean the Dionysian element in man - the irrational, the primitive and the tragic. The Apollonian element helps to embrace life through thinking, transforming it into a luminous, harmonious and beautiful dream.
