"I had devoted seminars and texts to the yes, to the double yes in Nietzsche's Zarathustra . . . the yes of the great midday affirmation, and then the ambiguity of the double yes: one of them returns us to the Christian assumption of one's burden, the Ja, Ja of the donkey overloaded as Christ was with memory and responsibility, and the other light, airy, dancing, solar yes, yes is also a yes of reaffirmation, of promise, of oath, a yes to eternal recurrence" (UG 53).
