if the future gave us no hope for anything—our own existence now must encourage us most strongly to live according to our own laws and standards: it is an inexplicable fact that we live precisely today, and had an infinite time to develop—nevertheless, we possess only a short-lived today to show why and to what end we evolved. We have only ourselves to answer for our existence; consequently we want to be the real helmsman of this existence and not permit our existence to be a thoughtless accident.
《Untimely Meditations》
Third part - 1874, Schopenhauer as Educator
Nietzsche
時間太少，思考太多。
沒有甚麼可以捉緊，假若你不拼命去把這些、那些抓來。
not permit our existence to be a thoughtless accident
不要把我們的存在當成偶然性而又無經思考的附屬品
