Even the most beautiful scenery is no longer assured of our love after we have lived in it for three months, and some distant coast attracts our avarice: possessions are generally diminished by possession.

"Let us look one another in the face. We are Hyperboreans — we know well enough how much out of the way we live. ‘Neither by land nor sea shalt thou find the road to the Hyperboreans’: Pindar already knew that of us".
- Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist.

not to be that person, but Nietzsche goes so hard sometimes:
"For the new year.-- I still live, I still think: I still have to live, I still have to think. Sum, ergo cogito: cogito, ergo sum. Today everybody permits himself the expression of his wish and his dearest thought; hence I, too, shall say what it is that I wish from myself today, and what was the first thought to run across my heart this year -- what thought shall be for me the reason, warranty, and sweetness of my life henceforth. I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer." The Gay Science 276
Like, im sorry but isn't that one of the most beautiful things you've read??

Quote
Living in a constant chase for gain compels people to expend their spirit to the point of exhaustion in continual pretense and overreaching and anticipating others. Virtue has come to consist of doing something in less time than someone else... Soon we may well reach the point where people can no longer give in to the desire for a vita contemplativa (that is, taking a walk with ideas and friends) without self-contempt and a bad conscience.

Here and there on earth we may encounter a kind of continuation of love in which this possessive craving of two people for each other gives way to a new desire and lust for possession — a shared higher thirst for an ideal above them. But who knows such love? Who has experienced it? Its right name is friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science (15)

Le poison dont meurt la nature plus faible est pour le fort fortifiant— et il ne le qualifie pas non plus de poison.
