Fragments • Heraclitus“As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind... Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?”

Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“He would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies.”
