a place to post any philosophical quotatations that inspire you.
What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneness, 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?”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you.
