Just as it is certain that one leaf is never totally the same as another, so it is certain that the concept “leaf” is formed by arbitrarily discarding these individual differences and by forgetting the distinguishing aspects. This awakens the idea that, in addition to the leaves, there exists in nature the "leaf": the original model according to which all the leaves were perhaps woven, sketched, measured, colored, curled, and painted--but by incompetent hands, so that no specimen has turned out to be a correct, trustworthy, and faithful likeness of the original model.

Every word immediately becomes a concept, inasmuch as it is not intended to serve as a reminder of the unique and wholly individualized original experience to which it owes its birth, but must at the same time fit innumerable, more or less similar cases—which means, strictly speaking, never equal—in other words, a lot of unequal cases. Every concept originates through our equating what is unequal.

So gewiß nie ein Blatt einem andern ganz gleich ist, so gewiß ist der “Begriff” Blatt durch beliebiges Fallenlassen dieser individuellen Verschiedenheiten, durch ein Vergessen des Unterscheidenden gebildet und erweckt nun die Vorstellung, als ob es in der Natur außer den Blättern etwas gäbe, das "Blatt" wäre, etwa eine Urform, nach der alle Blätter gewebt, gezeichnet, abgezirkelt, gefärbt, gekräuselt, bemalt wären, aber von ungeschickten Händen, so daß kein Exemplar korrekt und zuverlässig als treues Abbild der Urform ausgefallen wäre

Zo zeker als nooit enig blad gelijk is aan een ander, zo zeker is het begrip “blad” gevormd door het willekeurig laten vallen van individuele verschillen, door het vergeten van het kenmerkende. Even zeker wekt het begrip “blad” nu het denkbeeld, dat er in de natuur buiten de bladeren iets zou zijn dat “Blad” is, zogezegd een oervorm, waarnaar alle bladeren geweven, geschetst, afgemeten, gekleurd, gekruld, beschilderd zijn, maar dan door onbekwame handen, zodat geen enkel exemplaar correct en geloofwaardig als een trouwe afbeelding van de oervorm is uitgevallen.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche - 1844-1900 * On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense - 1873
