We should be a mirror of being: we are God in miniature. . . . Am I supposed to have created the whole universe? Was it the movement of my I that brought this about, just as it brought about the movement of a body? Am I merely a droplet of this force? I comprehend only a being that is simultaneously one and many, that changes and stays the same, that knows, feels, wills—this being is my primordial fact. Friedrich Nietzsche, Unpublished Fragments from the Period of “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”
