Hello, /lit/. My memory is shit, would you be so kind and help me?

Which philosopher put out a statement saying that the Universe is an extremely violent place for any existence to be, that happiness is but a ridiculous flicker amidst the stars getting torn apart?

I'm not quoting.

Reminds me of this Nietzsche quote:

"Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened."
