> Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, in the last century, spoke best of love and of music. Yet each frequented only brothels and — of all composers — the former adored Rossini, the latter Bizet.

Your heroes have been assassinated with words. How are you going to cope?

"Coping" is an imaginary activity, every action has it useful purpose

>action
By all evidence we are in the world to do nothing; but instead of nonchalantly promenading our corruption, we exude our sweat and grow winded upon the fetid air. All History is in a state of putrefaction; its odors shift toward the future: we rush toward it, if only for the fever inherent in any decomposition.It is too late for humanity to be released from the illusion of action, it is especially too late for it to be raised to the sanctity of sloth)

We can justify only the man who practices, in full awareness the irrational necessary to every action, and who embellishes with no dream the fiction to which he surrenders himself, as we can admire only a hero who dies without conviction, all the more ready for sacrifice in that he has seen through it.

>Nietzsche spoke best of love
Nietzsche is dismissive of romantic love. He endorses concunbinage as a practice in Human, all too Human so men will marry based on prudence instead of passion. Zarathustra tell his disciples its an awful thing when a great man falls in love with a goose, and that they should only marry after they have achieved greatness. In the gay science he says a friendship based on devotion to a exalted ideal is nobler than love.
