"While Heraclitus’ imagination was eyeing the never-ceasing motion of the cosmos, this ‘actuality,’ like a blissful spectator who is watching innumerable pairs of contestants wrestling in joyous combat and refereed by stern judges, a still greater intuition overtook him. He could no longer see the contesting pairs and their referees as separate; the judges themselves seemed to be striving in the contest and the contestants seemed to be judging them." (Friedrich Nietzsche, Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks)
