Nietzsche is useful insofar as he highlights points that other thinkers either missed or were too cowardly to say, but he ultimately takes the whole 'pain and struggle' thing too far, especially the idea of 'the individual struggling against the herd.'

Not a big fan of Hemingway but the guy knew how to party and enjoy life.

Guy didn't kill himself because he was a faggot and depressed.
He killed himself because he was bored with life, done and seen it all and wanted to go out on his terms.
If that isn't fucking badass I don't know what is.
