I don’t have funny stories of kids, or colleagues, or meetings. When I talk about what I did today, I have to reveal a congenital uncertainty about my own value.

…he desires it, he even seeks it out, provided he is shown a meaning for it, a purpose of suffering. The meaninglessness of suffering, not suffering itself, was the curse that lay over mankind so far.” (On the Genealogy of Morals, Friedrich Nietzsche)
