  • The only way you can affirm yourself when your life is empty is to tell yourself there are somethings you can do and go down laughing
  • Emptiness spawned by disappointment by disappointment after all kinds of engagement leaves the heart with only one way to fulfill itself – the will to power, anger and violence
