I'm a god. I'm not the God. I don't think...

We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption; but how near or distant that is, nobody knows -- not even God. Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science (1882)

Can you explain the connection between the movie, and the quote?

"Nietzsche. You're not speaking because of Friedrich Nietzsche?"

there's a lot of gay science in groundhog day. philosophy-wise. and you could treat phil connors' episode as his big eruption (i.e. revelation) that he needs to be available to love.
