“There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.” Friedrich Nietzsche (Photo credit: Foto_di_Signorina)
“Having stripped myself of all illusions, I have gone mad.“ — Friedrich Nietzsche
(As analytical and logical as we’d all like to think we are, we all harbor a variety of illusions, great and small. Some of them are held consciously, but a great number of them lie in our subconsciousness. The positive – more optimistic – illusions are how we survive this thing called reality. Be well and do good, dear friends.) — YUR
