To be or not to be. -- Shakespeare To do is to be. -- Nietzsche To be is to do. -- Sartre Do be do be do. -- Sinatra
To be or not to be. -- Shakespeare
No Comment.
To do is to be. -- Nietzsche
Nietzsche tried to get over the meaninglessness of life or nihilism at that time covered in Europe by the affirmative admission of life by way of doing positively so I might say for him that doing is being. So this expression is right.
To be is to do. -- Sartre
You see his shibboleth was existence is prior to being so he is merely pointing that being is being. I cannot believe he's saying 'To be is to do'. Instead what he said was just 'To be is to be'. Actually he didn't understand the meaning of what he said.
Do be do be do. -- Sinatra
Was he singing so?
