My formula for greatness in man is amor fati: the fact that a man wishes nothing to be different, either in the future or in the past or for all eternity. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo “Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same House of Being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the Path of Eternity.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals “Whoever is ringed by the flame of jealousy in the end will turn his poisonous stinger upon himself, like the scorpion.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
