#high spirits
“Whoever has endeavored, as I have, to think pessimism through to its depths and liberate it from Schopenhauer’s philosophy, has thus opened his eyes to the opposite ideal: that of the high-spirited, world-affirming human being who has not only come to terms and learned to get along with whatever was and is, but who wants to have what was and is repeated into all eternity.”
—F. Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, §56 (edited excerpt).
