That's a good quote. But where is it from? Shouldn't it be "with monsters"? Any #Nietzsche experts around?

@PhilosophyExp It’s Aphorism 146 from Beyond Good And Evil & continues “And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”
@taimur_org Yes, but isn't that normally translated as *with* monsters (which potentially completely alters its meaning ).

@taimur_org Cool! Thanks. The word "with" is ambiguous, because in this context it can be "alongside". -
@PhilosophyExp I agree.
