Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life.

This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything immeasurably small or great in your life must return to you-all in the same succession and sequence-even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over and over, and you with it, a grain of dust.

The question in each and ever thing, ‘Do you desire this once more and innumerable times more?’

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overture and a going under. I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over. I love the great despisers because they are the great adorers, the arrows of longing for the other shore.

Detrás de cada caverna hay otra que se abre más profunda, y por debajo de cada superficie un mundo subterráneo más vasto, más extraño, más rico; bajo todos los fondos, bajo todas las fundaciones un subsuelo aún más extraño.

Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.

No hay otra cosa para hablar sino del amor que nos elude y que buscamos apasionadamente como el hundido continente de la Atlántida sumergido bajo el océano del odio del mundo.

We love life
not because
we are used
to living
but because
we are used
to loving
