I love brief habits and consider them an inestimable means for getting to know many things… My nature is designed entirely for brief habits… I always believe that here is something that will give me lasting satisfaction–brief habits, too, have this faith of passion, this faith in eternity–and that I am to be envied for having found and recognized it… But one day its time is up; the good thing parts from me, not as something that has come to nauseate me but peacefully and sated with me as I am with it–as if we had reason to be grateful to each other as we shook hands to say farewell. Even then something new is waiting at the door, along with my faith–this indestructible fool and sage! –that this new discovery will be just right, and that this will be the last time. That is what happens to me with dishes, ideas, human beings, cities, poems, music, doctrines, ways of arranging the day, and life styles. Friedrich Nietzsche
