"The thing (as one) no longer throws its shadow upon another thing; instead, it throws its shadow upon itself, thus becoming, at the same time, the thing and its shadow. When the sun is at its zenith, things are not simply exposed ("naked", as it were); they are, so to speak, dressed in their own shadows."-Alenka Zupančič, The Shortest Shadow: Nietzsche's Philosophy of the Two (Short Circuits)
