"No matter how much exercise you get, no matter how well you eat,
no matter how much money you have, you are very certainly going to die.
You're going to fucking die. And its probably going to hurt. Alot."
- Michael Ventura, Letters at 3AM

What is the greatest experience you can have? It is the hour of the
great contempt. The hour when your happiness, too, arouses your disgust,
and even your reason and your virtue.
The hour when you say, 'What matters my happiness? It is poverty
and filth and wretched contentment. But my happiness ought to justify
existence itself.'
The hour when you say, 'What matters my reason? Does it crave
knowledge as the lion his food? It is poverty and filth and wretched contentment.'
The hour when you say, 'What matters my virtue? As yet it has not
made me rage. How weary I am of my good and my evil! All that is
poverty and filth and wretched contentment.'
Nietzsche, Thus spoke Zarathustra.
