What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: “This life as you now live it and as you have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more” … Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: “You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.” —FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
