We should not accept moral nihilism unless we find strong arguments to do so.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
Image
Science, Nietzsche had warned, is becoming a factory, and the result will be ethical nihilism.
Rollo May
Image
That is why I have called feminism nihilism. It says that being a woman is nothing definite and that the duty of women is to advance that nothingness as a cause.
Harvey Mansfield
Image
Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power, religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts, religion deals with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
You don't realize all the things you have in this world, much more than you need, and you do much less than you can.
Roberto Canessa
Image
One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
Image
Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Do you know what punishments I've endured for my crimes, my sins? None. I am proof of the absurdity of men's most treasured abstractions. A just universe wouldn't tolerate my existence.
Brent Weeks
Image
Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate.
Albert Camus
Image
Destroy or be destroyed-there is no middle way! Let us then be the destroyers!
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
I teach you beyond Man (superman). Man is something that shall be surpassed. What have you done to surpass him?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity.
Ray Brassier
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
He was simply someone who floated through our lives and didn't seem to care how flatly he perceived everyone or that he'd shared our secret failures with the world, showcasing the youthful indifference, the gleaming nihilism, glamorizing the horror of it all.
Bret Easton Ellis
Image
What every artist should try to prevent is the car, in which is our civilized life, plunging over the side of the precipice -- the exhibitionist extremist promoter driving the whole bag of tricks into a nihilistic nothingness or zero.
Wyndham Lewis
Image
Break, beat up everything, beat and destroy! Everything that's being broken is rubbish and has no right to life! What survives is good
Dmitry Pisarev
Image
The point is there ain't no point.
Cormac McCarthy
Image
the problem is not suffering itself or oblivion itself but the depraved meaninglessness of these things, the absolutely inhuman nihilism of suffering.
John Green
Image
Suffering is a byproduct of evolution by natural selection, an inevitable consequence that may worry us in our more sympathetic moments but cannot be expected to worry a tiger - even if a tiger can be said to worry about anything at all - and certainly cannot be expected to worry its genes.
Richard Dawkins
Image
The struggle against subjectivism was the attempt to avoid the charge of what was then called idealism or nihilism, i.e., that we know nothing more than our own representations.
Frederick C. Beiser
Image
Are there any good arguments in defence of moral nihilism? I think not.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
Image
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I like the idea of being sort of withdrawn and mysterious, and what can be more mysterious that someone wearing a trash bag, like a dark trash bag, with eye holes that say nihilism? You'd be curious. What's underneath that? Is it perfect? Or is it broken?
Eugene Mirman
Image
What can be broken, should be broken.
Dmitry Pisarev
