I have thoroughly proven to myself my defeat. Only one great defeat remains and never ends: my inability to end all defeat. For if I were to perish, then I could say I accomplished an end I’ve desired with courage!

“What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal: what is lovable in man is that he is an over-going and a going under.”  – Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885)
