No, seriously, when they take her away tomorrow, what will become of me?
I feel so nauseated... I don't know what to say....

Aphorisms on Love and Hate by Friedrich Nietzsche

Some quotes:
- Passion will not wait. The tragedy in the lives of great men often lies not in their conflict with the times and the baseness of their fellow men, but rather in their inability to postpone their work for a year or two. They cannot wait.
- And this can be more suffering than life is worth.
- Isn’t love obviously more foolish? Of course, but for just that reason so much more pleasant for everyone. Love is foolish, and possesses a rich horn of plenty; from it she dispenses her gifts to everyone, even if he does not deserve them, indeed, even if he does not thank her for them. She is as nonpartisan as rain, which (according to the Bible and to experience) rains not only upon the unjust, but sometimes soaks the just man to the skin,
too. - Loving and possessing. Women usually love an important man in such a way that they want to have him to themselves. They would gladly put him under lock and key, if their vanity, which wants him to appear important in front of others, too, did not advise against it.

1st time reading Hemingway and while i had mixed feelings while reading the book, but by the end of the book i was really impressed. The whole struggle of old man and the will to not give up it highly resonated with me.
