Hi all!
I'm endeavoring to translate a book on Philosophy from Spanish into English. My first hurdle is a quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche:
"...un principio cósmico, es una expresión del sí a la vida."
I've searched numerous Nietzsche websites but cannot find that precise quote in English anywhere. Can anyone out there help? I'd be really grateful if you can provide links.
Thanks a million..in advance:-)

OK, nobody ever called me timid. I'll have a crack at it. But do you have any idea at all what book of Nietzche's it's from? The Spanish seems rather idiomatic, but since the original was German that may be misleading (or even a mistranslation?) Any chance your source cites ITS sources...???
