Full Idea
For me there are no true orators and super-orators unless they can convince the arguments themselves to run after them.
Gist of Idea
Great orators lead their arguments, rather than following them
Source
Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1881-82 [1882], 22[01])
A Reaction
I translate this as great orators generating the mere appearance of good arguments. Both reason and feeling must be irrationally swept along. Nice.
