About this Quote
This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche suggests that if one were to see the world without the restraints of time, they would get a clearer perspective, and what may appear complicated or confusing in the present minute would become simpler and much easier to understand. The phrase "everything crooked will become straight to you" implies that what may appear distorted or disordered would become clear and comprehensible. Basically, Nietzsche is motivating a kind of separated, timeless reflection in order to attain greater clearness of idea.
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
