I am here for Friends

About Me

Complex,paradoxical,iconoclastic,introspective, philosophical and enigmatic.Beyond that,it's difficult to encapsulate the dichotomies of my existence.

"Three passions have governed my life:the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.In the union of love I have seen in a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.With equal passion I have sought knowledge.I have wished to understand the hearts of people.I have wished to know why the stars shine.Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,but always pity brought me back to earth;cries of pain reverberated in my heart of children in famine,of victims tortured and of old people left helpless.I long to alleviate the evil,but I cannot,and I too suffer.This has been my life;I found it worth living."-Bertrand Russell
"Those who dream by night,in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity;but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,for they may act their dream with open eyes,and make it possible."-T.E.Lawrence
What philosophical archetype are you?

You scored as Ubermensch
You are Friedrich Nietzsche's ideal overman. Challenging conventional morality and beliefs you overcome the nihilism of a world without god by utilising the will-to-power to create your own values. An artist by nature you express yourself in a distinctly Dionysian (creative) way.

"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive,and die only when you are dead.To love,to be loved.To never forget your own insignificance.To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.To seek joy in the saddest places.To pursue beauty to its lair.To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple.To respect strength,never power.Above all,to watch,to try and understand,to never look away.And never,never,to forget."-Arundhati Roy
