Hope is the rainbow over the falling brook of life ~ Friedrich Nietzsche



You have your way, I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, the only way, it does not exist ~ Nietzsche

Nietzsche agreed with Schopenhauer that there is no God, and that we do not have immortal souls. He also agreed that this life of ours is a largely meaningless business of suffering and striving, driven among by an irrational force that we can call will. But we rejected Schopenhauer’s view that this world is only a part, and what is more an unimportant part, of total reality: he believed it to be a whole. Above all, Nietzsche rejected Schopenhauer’s conclusion that we should turn away is disgust from such a world, reject it, and withdraw from it. On the contrary, he believed that we should live our lives to the full in it, and get everything we can out of it. The central question posed by Nietzsche’s philosophy is how best to do this in a godless, meaningless world. ` Page 172

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was an avowed atheist who proclaimed “the death of the God”. Some have seen him as a prophet of nihilism. But toward the end of his career, Nietzsche experienced a “perfect day” and a spontaneous feeling of deep gratitude. On that day, not only were the grapes ripening under the autumn sun, but as he described it, “a ray of sunshine had fallen on my life.” as he wrote, “I looked behind me, I looked before me, and never have I seen so many good things at once.” Then Nietzsche asked, “How could I fail to be grateful to my entire life?” - page 202
