The quote I can't stop thinking about.

For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. -- Nietzsche
Hang on a minute, you may say. Is this claim even true? What if there are irresistible things that are avoidable?

Let's start picking at this quote.

"For every *man* there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing."

To state the obvious, the "man" in the quote refers to every human; men, women or children.

“It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

I am no Nietzsche. I'd rather write a book based on one of his sentences. There is one such Nietzsche quote that I can't seem to stop thinking about.
