Bruno withdrew from the field of history more resolutely than Vigo; that is why I prefer the former’s retrospect but the latter’s prospect. As an anarch, I am determined to go along with nothing, ultimately take nothing seriously — at least not nihilistically, but rather as a border guard in no man’s land, who sharpens his eyes and ears between the tides.

About This Quote

The idea of nihilism is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world today. A nihilist believes that nothing exists. This is why nihilism is often confused with existentialism. However, the difference is that existentialists believe that life has meaning and that it can be meaningful even if you don’t believe in God or an afterlife.

Nihilists believe that life has no meaning at all, which is why they are often labeled as angry misanthropes who want to destroy everything for the sake of destroying everything. However, there are also those who use nihilism as a way to live life without caring about anything except their own pleasure. In this context, Bruno was a philosopher who believed that it was impossible to have a meaningful life without being dedicated to something bigger than yourself.
