Reincarnation Or Groundhog Day?

This life, as you live it at present, and have lived it, you must live it once more, and also innumerable times: and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and every sigh, and all the unspeakably small and great in your life must come to you again, and all in the same series and sequence.
—    Friedrich Nietzsche
