You have to want it. You have to want it more than anybody else could possibly want it. Then you have to work for it. You have to work harder than anybody else could possibly work. Then you have to sacrifice. You have to sacrifice more than anybody else could possibly sacrifice. Then you have to suffer. You have to suffer more than anybody else could possibly suffer. Then you have to do it again…and again…and again.

“Saying yes to life, even in its strangest and harshest problems, is what I call Dionysian. That is the bridge I found to the psychology of the tragic poet.

You state that I have misinterpreted my results, and it looks as though you believe my views to be unsound. Your arguments are those of an eminent scholar. I was myself a fair scholar. For years I pondered, so to speak, day and night over books, and filled my head with sound views – very sound ones, indeed – those of others. But I could not get to practical results. I then began to work and think independently. Gradually my views became unsound, but they conducted me to some sound results.
