Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Sounds like there's some controversy here! So I gotta look him up! I'm so intrigued right now!
Great review. I love listening to recordings of him.
I listen to his recording on YouTube all the time. Never read his work. And I am intrigued... Thanks!
Quite literally one of my fav thinkers of all time!
