Well I am going to Post a few quotes today all by one of the greatest philosophers of all time. Friedrich Nietzsche.
"In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."
"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."
"He who cannot give anything away cannot feel anything either."
"Existence really is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present."
"Enduring habits I hate... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits."
"Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders."
"Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive."
"And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."
"A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness."
