nietzsche and heidegger

Patrick Lakey, Heidegger: Hut, Todtnauberg, Black Forest, Germany, I, 2005.
When you are in your early twenties, you should read Nietzsche; when you become older (say, 30 years and more), you could switch to Heidegger. But study his works slowly, the way wine is savoured. And don’t slavishly believe his every word (or err to think that I am some sort of ‘Heideggerian’ because I recommend him). And do go out for long walks so your own thoughts may gestate. Who knows, what philosophical insights might spawn from such a combination of theory and practise?
