Once upon a time, a friend told me, "Never read Nietzsche when you're depressed,"* which is actually very sound advice regarding the philosopher most famous for saying, "God is Dead." He was not the world's happiest guy. He has a few quotes that are good for shocking the bourgeoisie at parties. Such as, "It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night." "Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."
We're not going to focus on those quotes today because they are way too emo to take seriously. The quote of the day is: "He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how."
I find that quote very motivational if you think about it. It's also probably the best we can expect from the guy with such bad luck that he got syphilis the one and only time he slept with a woman.
*Also, the first line of my next novel.
