Deceitful deception of fate—
what mortal man shall avoid it?
With nimbleness, deftness, and speed
whose leaping foot shall escape it?
Benign and coaxing at first
it leads us astray into nets which
no mortal is able to slip,
whose doom we never can flee.
—Aeschylus, The Persians

“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessary—but love it.”
— F. Nietzsche
