a note in the margin

I was flipping through my Portable Nietzsche this morning and noticed this quote along with a note in the margin.

It is a self-deception on the part of philosophers and moralists if they believe that they are extricating themselves from decadence when they merely wage war against it. Extrication lies beyond their strength: what they choose as a means, as salvation, is itself but another expression of decadence; they change its expression, but they do not get rid of decadence itself.

Nietzsche -> Twilight of the Idols "The Problem of Socrates" #11

My note was--

Similar to "Being free of possessions is not to be without them but to be free of their power over you. They may have power whether you own them or not."

I'm not sure who I was quoting there. Are these really similar?
