Aus der Kriegsschule des Lebens: Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker.
- “From the military school of life: that which does not kill me, makes me stronger.”
Yes, yes, knock yourselves without witty rejoinders about metal fatigue and polio, but Nietzsche’s aphorism articulates the fundamentally anti-fragile nature of the human being — and where it doesn’t apply neatly to individuals, it tends to apply to the species.[1]
And consider the converse, neurotic coronavirus obsessives:
- “Avoiding things that might hurt, but won’t kill me, makes me weaker.”
