Thinking Hopeful Nihilism

More From John Green

Nihilism: any aim is lacking, any answer to the question "why" is lacking. what does nihilism mean?--that the supreme values devaluate themselves.

...what is at stake is civilization and humanity, nothing less. the idea that everything is permitted, as nietzsche put it, rests on the premise of nihilism and has nihilistic implications. i will not pretend that the case against nihilism and for civilization is an easy one to make. we are here confronting the most fundamental of philosophical questions, on the deepest levels. in short, the matter of pornography and obscenity is not a trivial one, and only superficial minds can take a bland and untroubled view of it.

What i see is trying to make sure that everybody thinks you have more than what you actually have. what’s the point if you actually don’t have it? if you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. have what you have. enjoy that . . . the craft is everything. don’t be afraid of not being the wealthiest person in the room. be the smartest person in the room. be the slickest person in the room. be the most creative person in the room. be the most entertaining person in the room. just be in the room.

I was shown into a room. a red room. red wallpaper, red curtains, red carpet. they said it was a sitting-room, but i don’t know why they’d decided to confine its purpose just to sitting. obviously, sitting was one of the things you could do in a room this size; but you could also stage operas, hold cycling races, and have an absolutely cracking game of frisbee, all at the same time, without having to move any of the furniture. it could rain in a room this big.

I think hillary clinton has made great strides in doing so, even though there are people who want to bring us back to the '50s and still define a woman by her husband and her husband's legacy. but she has proven herself to be a force on her own and is an example to us of how women should and can be judged on their own merits.

Everybody would like to be good, that's the silly thing, everybody always likes it when they're having a nice time or when they're happy or when it's sunny, they all dig it; but then they go and forget about it, they never really try to make it nice. they think that it just comes along and it's nice if you're lucky, or if you're unlucky it's bad for you.
Nice Silly Thinking
The most important thing for me was to never, ever, ever deny it. but i didn't really have the courage to talk about it. i was thinking, the people who need to know i'm gay know.
