I'd like to know your opinion. Nietzsche is surely the most famous and influential philosopher of the contemporary society. I've bought some of his books but I can't truly connect with him nor really understand him over some others philosophers who I believe more important but are generally unknown like Salas Sommer or Gurdjieff. Nevertheless, I internally know and feel he is valuable.

Part of Nietzsche's appeal is his aphoristic style. It makes him very quotable, like the famous "And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you" or "Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger." He wrote with a verve that makes him interesting to read, even if you don't agree with his conclusions.
