The Heaviest Burden (The Eternal Return) - Nietzsche

This life, as thou livest it at present, and hast lived it, thou must live it once more, and also innumerable times; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and every sigh, and all the unspeakably small and great in thy life must come to thee again, and all in the same series and sequence--and similarly this spider and this moonlight among the trees, and similarly this moment, and I myself. The eternal sand-glass of existence will ever be turned once more, and thou with it, thou speck of dust!

@redsbr I was reminded of that bit in Ghostbusters:

Dana: THERE IS NO DANA, ONLY ZUUL!

Peter: What a lovely singing voice you must have.
