I'm having some trouble finding the original German translation for
Nietzsche's phrase:

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some
reason in madness."

Thank you for your help!

"Es ist immer etwas Wahnsinn in der Liebe. Es ist aber immer auch
etwas Vernunft im Wahnsinn."

(From "Also sprach Zarathustra", "Vom Lesen und Schreiben", in
Nietzsche, Werke, Kritische Gesamtausgabe, VI I, p. 45.)
