“The Portable Nietzsche”, p.202, Penguin

Friedrich Nietzsche (1977)
The Hall of Fragments

“Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same House of Being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is
everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.”

 

He found the recursion but stopped just short of asking who keeps turning the wheel.
