What? The aim of science should be to give men as much pleasure and as little displeasure as possible? But what if pleasure and displeasure were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also have as much as possible of the other that whoever wanted to learn to 'jubilate up to the heavens' would also have to be prepared for 'depression unto death'. And this is how things may well be. (Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, I, 12)
