The Philosophy of Mr. N

I would like to write upon the topic of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
I would like to know one (or more) of the following:

* What drove Nietzsche insane?

* Why he dislikes Christianity?

* What his main philosophical argument was?

* More about his ideas: Apollonian and Dionysian, Death of God, Eternal Recurrence, Herd instinct, Master-Slave Morality, Übermensch, Perspectivism, Will to Power, Ressentiment

* Why did he grow such a large mustache?


books


Quotes from Mr. N:

Gott ist tot! Gott bleibt tot! Und wir haben ihn getötet.

Plato ist langweilig

Das Christenthum ist eine Metaphysik des Henkers...

The very word 'Christianity' is a misunderstanding — in truth, there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross.



I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty — I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind.

Any ideas as to the answers to these questions would be appreciated in a comment.
