Friedrich NietzscheWe laugh at a man who, stepping out of his room at the very minute when the sun is rising, says, โIt is my will that the sun shall riseโ; or at him who, unable to stop a wheel, says, โI wish it to rollโ; or, again, at him who, thrown in a wrestling match, says, โHere I lie, but here I wish to lie.โ But, joking apart, do we not act like one of these three persons whenever we use the expression โI wishโ?
