After looking this up I chuckled because then I learned that the title of the book it comes from was translated as "the gay science""What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more" ― Friedrich Nietzsche
Haha yea, in our day and age gay means something totally different that what it meant when Walter Kaufmann translated Nietzsche's work. Gay originally meany joyful, it had nothing to do with fags. But ofc they hijacked it and made it their own.After looking this up I chuckled because then I learned that the title of the book it comes from was translated as "the gay science"
I knew about this book from the French version "le gai savoir". I had no idea the English version had such an unfortunate title.
