“No, life has not disappointed me. On the contrary, I find it truer, more desirable and mysterious every year—ever since the day when the great liberator came to me: the idea that life could be an experiment of the seeker for knowledge and not a duty, not a calamity, not trickery...

Here’s the scoop on your two Nietzsche references:
1. “Nietzsche: How to be Unstoppable”
This phrase appears in a popular Medium article titled “Nietzsche: How to be Unstoppable – Wake up your genius” by Thomas Oppong, originally published on November 15, 2023, with a recent republish within the past few hours as of today’s date (Facebook, Medium). The article uses Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch and self-overcoming to inspire modern readers:
-
The Übermensch symbolizes transcending ordinary human limits and mastering oneself.
-
Facing chaos and adversity isn’t optional—it’s the foundation for becoming “unstoppable.”
-
Embrace uncertainty and suffering as tools for self-evolution (Medium).
It’s not a direct Nietzsche text but a modern interpretation applying his philosophy for personal resilience and growth.
2. “No, life has not disappointed me...”
This is a genuine Nietzsche quote, found in The Gay Science (Aphorism 324), written in 1882. The full passage goes:
“No, life has not disappointed me. On the contrary, I find it truer, more desirable and mysterious every year—ever since the day when the great liberator came to me: the idea that life could be an experiment of the seeker for knowledge and not a duty, not a calamity, not trickery...” (nietzsche.holtof.com, Goodreads)
This original aphorism has been resurfaced recently—such as in a Medium post titled “No, Life Has Not Disappointed Me” published two days ago by Oppong, reflecting a renewed interest in Nietzsche’s more hopeful and affirming side (Medium).
🧠 Bottom Line:
-
“How to be Unstoppable” is a contemporary piece drawing on Nietzsche’s themes—especially the Übermensch and embracing struggle.
-
“No, life has not disappointed me...” is a direct quote from Nietzsche’s own writings (The Gay Science, 1882), celebrating life as a joyful experiment of knowledge.
Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper—whether it’s exploring the Übermensch, amor fati, or how Nietzsche’s ideas have been interpreted in modern self‑help contexts!
