“What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?”
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”
“Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.”
“We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.”
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
