“What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest of loneliness and say to you: ‘This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and everything unutterably small and great in your life will return to you, all in the same succession and sequence…’
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him; ‘You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine?’… The question in each and every thing: ‘Do you want this once more and innumerable times more?’ would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well-disposed would you have to become to yourself and your life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate confirmation and seal?” -Nietzsche
