“
The discipline of suffering, of *great* suffering - do you not know that only *this* discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? That tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, it’s shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, persevering, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness - was not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?Friedrich Nietzsche
