Give me some accounts from the journals of "great"

Abraham Lincoln suffered from suicidal depression and wrote about that in his diaries.

Oliver Cromwell also suffered a protracted crisis in his 20s and was treated for depression ("melancholia" back then)

Marcus Aurelius "Meditations"

>>1914723
Anything about or by Roald Amundsen, if depression was an artform people would flock to Scandinavia to see it. Soren Kierkegaard practically cultivated his depression

My diary desu.

I personally think Napoleon's letters to his wife were excellent. Napleon rants a lot.
Hitler's rants on the other hand... Kind of cringe.

>Marcus Aurelius "Meditations"
This, so much.

Napoleon's "literature" was just as edgy. What was the one where some officer goes on a bloody murderous rampage with an axe or something? His writing is full of cringey romanticism, "O woe! O cruel fate! what monster would tread on my flower so callously? I should, nay, I must resolve to die! adieu my sweet muse! adieu gentle nature! do not weep for me!" and so on. He read Werther seven or eight times though and actually met Goethe which was cool.

>he fell for the 'great man theory' meme

Sartre felt like shit about himself and was basically playing le funny dude through school because of his complex. Didn't have much friends.

You must know about Nietzsche's crazy moment. His sickness got him so sick that he became crazy.

Enstein failed twice to prove his theory before doing the right calculation and he made a theory of limited space that he refuted afterwards saying that it was his biggest mistake

>he fell for the meme that "great man theory" just means believing great men exist

>>1914723
Elliot Rodger's manifesto.

>>1914985
That's what people were like before everyone turned into cool post-modern meta-ironic dudes in the 50's. When people try to be sincere nowadays they look like fags

>>1915122
That isn't sincere though, it's melodramatic.
