Nietzsche on Definition

This may be the first and last time I blog about Nietzsche, but... Yesterday Jo Wolff mentioned Nietzsche had said something along the lines of 'no concept with a history can be defined'. Some Googling has turned up this: "all concepts in which an entire process is semiotically concentrated defy definition; only something which has no history can be defined" (GM II 13), here (p.59).
