Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

One should part from life as Odysseus parted from Nausicaa: with a blessing rather than in love

One should part from life as Odysseus parted from Nausicaa:

Summary

This quote suggests that one should approach the end of life with a sense of acceptance and appreciation, rather than clinging to attachments or worldly desires. Similar to how Odysseus left Nausicaa, a symbol of his past desires and temptations, with a farewell blessing instead of remaining in love with her, one should let go gracefully and embrace the next phase of existence. It emphasizes the idea of detaching oneself from worldly attachments and finding contentment in the transience of human existence.

When you have been with your partner for so many years, they become the glove compartment map that you've worn dog-eared and white-creased, the trail you recogonize so well you could draw it by heart and for this very reason keep it with you on journeys at all times. And yet, when you least expect it, one day you open your eyes and there is an unfamiliar turnoff, a vantage point taht wasn't there before, and you have to stop and wonder if maybe this landmark isn't new at all, but rather something you have missed all along.

It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream--a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought--a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!
