This world, the eternally imperfect, the eternal and imperfect image of a contradiction — an intoxicating joy to its imperfect creator — that is what I once thought the world.

Friedrich Nietzsche
About This Quote

I once thought the world. I once thought that the world was an interesting place. The world, as it turns out, is not at all like what I once thought it was. It’s not an interesting place, and it’s not intoxicating at all.

If you think that the world will somehow bring you meaning, then you’ll be disappointed. The world is entirely meaningless except as a means to an end; meaning comes from within.
