“Too far did I fly into the future: a horror seized upon me. And when I looked around me, there time was my sole contemporary. Then did I fly backwards, homewards—and always faster. So did I come to you present-day men, and into the land of culture. For the first time brought I an eye to see you, and good desire: verily, with longing in my heart did I come.” Friedrich Nietzsche, 1883
