“I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.”
― Michel Foucault

“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.”
― André Gide

“The relevant point here [by Nietzsche in Genealogy of Morality] is merely that when happiness is not pictured as the process of a struggle against suffering or as a creative activity, it will nevertheless not be defined as a pure state of pleasure from which pain is completely absent: when the overcoming of suffering is not conceived in terms of one’s own exertions, it is apt to take the form of one’s own triumphant elevation over the suffering of others.”
― Walter Kaufmann, Nietzsche: Philosopher Psychologist Antichrist
