More From Michel Onfray

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.

I struggle with confidence, every time. i’m never completely sure i can write another book. maybe my scope is too grand, my questions too hard, surely readers won’t want to follow me here. a novel is like a cathedral, it knocks you down to size when you enter into it.
Struggle Book Writing
I don't think pandemics make us afraid of death, i think they make us afraid of oblivion. they force us to grapple with the futility of effort. also they make us barf which isn't fun either... wash your hands, cover your coughs, and find a way to hold in balance the futility of effort with the necessity to struggle.
Fun Struggle Thinking
Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us; our hour of triumph is what brings the void. not the jews of the captivity, but those of the days of solomon 's glory are those from whom the pessimistic utterances in our bible come.
