Arthur Balfour watched Wilson [US president], Lloyd George [British prime minister], and Clemenceau [French prime minister] in conference—relying for expertise only on Maurice Hankey (who was forty-one when the Peace Conference convened, some thirty-five years younger than Balfour)—and pictured them as “These three all-powerful, all-ignorant men, sitting there and carving up continents, with only a child to lead them.” An Italian diplomat wrote that “A common sight at the Peace Conference in Paris was one or other of the world’s statesmen, standing before a map and muttering to himself: ‘Where is that damn’d…?’ while he sought with extended forefinger for some town or river that he had never heard of before.”

This is in the peace conference of 1919, after WWI:

The statement: (The smarter you are the more you will suffer) appeals not to smart people, but to miserable people. It gives them a romantic touch to their suffering: that they suffer because they are too good, too smart, and too perfect for this imperfect world. Maybe it is true that smart people suffer more. But trust me, most of us are not even barely qualified to test this hypothesis. A truly miserable person is the one who complicates his own pain and misery more than it really is. Who clings to misery to have meaning for his life. It is one of the most pathetic things in life when someone suffers but clings to this suffering like they cling to a bad marriage.

Unlike most people, even most philosophers, Nietzsche lived with his intellectual problems as with realities, he experienced a similar emotional commitment to them as other men experience to their wife and children. It is this, indeed, which is the badge of his uniqueness and the key to understanding him. He makes clear what he means by intellectual problems in these few posthumously-published notes: "As soon as you feel yourself against me you have ceased to understand my position and consequently my arguments! You have to be the victim of the same passion!   I want to awaken the greatest mistrust of myself: I speak only of things I have experienced and do not offer only events in the head. One must want to experience the great problems with one’s body and one’s soul. I have at all times written my writings with my whole heart and soul: I do not know what purely intellectual problems are." In a man who thinks like this, the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, intellect and passion, has really disappeared. He feels his thoughts. He can fall in love with an idea. An idea can make him ill. — R. J. Hollingdale
