Some people write things that other people quote. A lot.

And thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes.

I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

L. Cohen

Love is not consolation. It is light.

F. Nietzsche

Did Nietzsche really write this? This quote is everywhere on the internets but I can’t find a reference to from whence it came. My understanding is that Nietzsche wrote some books. He didn’t spout this stuff on TV talk shows. So, which book was it? I love this quote even though I find it painful. But I’m starting to wonder if it’s accurately attributed.

    I was looking all over for the context of the “love” quote too. It seems it has somehow been misattributed to Mr. N… it was actually written by Simone Weil.
