It is a true and terrible phrase : true, because we are all queer fellows dreaming ; and we are queer just because we dream ; terrible, because of the vastness of the unknown which it carries within itself, because it sets loose the tremendous and awful question : What if we are only queer fellows dreaming ? What if behind the veil the truth is leering and jeering at our queerness and our dreams?\tWhat if the queer fellow of the story were right, before he dreamed ?\tWhat if it were really all the same? What if it were all the same not once but a million times, life after life, world after world, the same pain, the same doubt, the same dreams? The queer fellow went but one day's journey along the eternal recurrence which threatens human minds and human destinies. When he returned he was queer. There was another man went the same journey. Friedrich Nietzsche dreamed this very dream in the mountains of the Engadine. When he returned he too was queer.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "John Middleton Murry" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/john-middleton-murry/the-dream-of-a-queer-fellow-i-write-the-words-again-and-they-appear/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a51/john-middleton-murry-97032_another-man_the-dream-of-a-queer-fellow-i-write-the_1099469.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a51/john-middleton-murry-97032_another-man_the-dream-of-a-queer-fellow-i-write-the_1099469.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a51/john-middleton-murry-97032_another-man_the-dream-of-a-queer-fellow-i-write-the_1099469.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Dream of a Queer Fellow I write the words again and they appear doubly pregnant with meaning.
