Eternal Return

I remember reading this back in my freshman undergrad for philosophy. I really liked the way it was said, I only remembered the gist but stumbled upon the actual quote just today. I thought it would be a nice way to swipe the dust off this blog of mine...

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 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
