Friedrich_Nietzsche - Untimely_Meditations_(Cambridge_Texts_in_the_History_of_Philosophy__1997)

Note on the textthinker and indeed every authentically eXIstIng human beingmust be 'untimely'. As noted in section 3 of the third Meditation,an original thinker such as Empedocles or Schopenhauer isalways 'untimely', inasmuch as this is a necessary consequence ofstriving to become who one is. If one is to strive to overcome oneself,then one must also strive to overcome all those merely, 'timely'elements that one discovers to have been falsely grafted on toone's own 'untimeliness'.xlvii
