Friedrich Nietzsche

If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event - and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.

I gave one look at it all, returned to the hotel and went to bed and wept bitterly for eleven hours. . . Why? Because I had seen Paris and could not endure the thought of being anywhere else.
