{{quote|I will tell you why; so shall my anticipation prevent your discovery, and your secrecy to the King and queene: moult no feather. I have of late, (but wherefore I know not) lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition; that this goodly frame the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy the air, look you, this brave o'er hanging firmament, this majestical roof, fretted with golden fire: why, it appeareth no other thing to me, than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! [[Humans Are Morons|How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty!]] In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an Angel! in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? [[Asexuality|Man delights not me; no, nor Woman neither]]; though by your smiling you seem to say so.}} |

* Dora from ''The Moth Diaries'' is not just a Nietzsche Wannabe, she's writing a book about a dialogue between the man himself and Brahms. She gets into a few arguments over the former's teachings with Ernessa. As to whether the book is completed {{spoiler|before her death}} or not, we never find out. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this detail. |

* ''[[Macbeth]]'' doesn't start off this way, but by the end? The titular character's soliloquy following [[Lady Macbeth]]'s death ("Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow") is one of the more eloquent statements of the idea. His motives in the last act are his giving into this trope, made all the more terrifying because the amoral universe was of his own creation. |
