Nietzsche

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

. That was the highest and most mendacious minute of "world history" — yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die. One might invent such a fable and still not have illustrated sufficiently how wretched, how shadowy and flighty, how aimless and arbitrary, the human intellect appears in nature. There have been eternities when it did not exist; and when it is done for again, nothing will have happened."
―Friedrich Nietzsche, On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense
