Could anyone clarify the difference between this "self-transformation" and
"self-over-coming" in Nietzsche? Does anyone know the reference for the
Nietzsche quote "Keep your habits short"?? I keep seeing the phrase
"Nietzschean Quest" relating to Foucault. Any suggestions for further
reading on this relationship?
