• There is an important idea in Nietzsche, of Amor fati, the “love of your fate,” which is in fact your life. As he says, if you say no to a single factor in your life, you have unraveled the whole thing.

The demon that you can swallow gives you its power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.
