“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' ...

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.”

I wasn't scared; I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost.”
