hey /lit/, could u help me out a little?

Ive been looking for a certain quote from Nietzsche's "Thus spoke Zarathustra" - ive got it in my native language, which is not english, and wanted to find the english version of it.

It was around page 36, the part "About reading and writing", and its something like:

"Truth is, we love the life not because to the life, but to loving we are used to."

Could you guys find that part and give me the original quote?

In return, +5 internets

>sorry I didn't read Nietzsche because I'm going to ride the 'durr hurr ur a hipster' fad even though Nietzsche's work is timeless and was written before 'hipsters' even existed (I'm just a fucking retard I might as well be saying I don't listen to Beethoven because I'm not a band geek)

But that's exactly what a hipster would do. Reading Nietzche is so passe, it's cooler to hate on semi-popular philosophers now.

Tell me /lit/, how does J. B. Priestly use the Inspector in The Inspector Calls for dramatic effect and as a political mouthpiece?

Yes, this is school work. No, I don't want you to write an essay. Just 5 or so people giving one liners which I can then develop into A* material.
