Personal: Genealogical Notes — January 2, 2026
Today I learned I’m approximately 75% German and 25% French. My third great‑grandfather on my paternal grandmother’s side was French. My paternal grandfather’s family was German, and my maternal side is entirely German. They immigrated to America before World War I. I still can’t find much about my paternal line, but I’m excited by this discovery.
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!”
“Every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear what it has to say” +
From Nietzsche’s Unpublished Writings from the period of Unfashionable Observations:
Every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear what it has to say: when we are alone and quiet we are afraid that something will be whispered into our ear and hence we despise quiet and drug ourselves with sociability. The human being evades suffering as best he can, but even more so he evades the meaning of endured suffering; he seeks to forget what lies behind it by constantly setting new goals.
Every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear what it has to say
