This source isn't very good; it doesn't cover what we're looking for in terms of Nietzche as an Existentialist. However, there is this quote that is interesting and gives us insight to his philosophy in life: "Nevertheless, his father was a minister; a long line of clergymen lay behind each of his parents; and he himself remained a preacher to the end. He attacked Christianity because there was so much of its moral spirit in him.... With perhaps one disastrous exception, Nietzsche remained pious and Puritan, chaste as a statue, to the last: therefore his assault on Puritanism and piety. How he longed to be a sinner, this incorrigible saint! - The Story of Philosophy; Durant, p. 402-3"
