Can someone help me find the Nietzsche aphorism that essentially says "if one denies one thing, one denies the whole", and also which one of his works it is from?

he really thought he was the ultimate critic of systematic philosophy.
Deleuze has a quote, that i think, it was inspired by Nietzsche:
>A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window

He says the contrapositive of that in Thus Spoke Zarathustra part 4, "The Drunken Song", Section 10:

Did you ever say Yes to a single joy? Oh, my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained together, entwined, in love–

– if you ever wanted one time a second time, if you ever said ‘You please me, happiness! Quick! Moment!’ then you wanted it all back!

– All anew, all eternally, all chained together, entwined, in love, oh then you loved the world–

– you eternal ones, love it eternally and for all time: and even to woe you say: Be gone, but come back! For all joy wants– Eternity!

Yes, I am aware of both forms of the contrapositive, the other being from The Will to Power:
>For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.
I am looking for the version where nothing can be denied because I am positive in that aphorism he says that each moment needs to be affirmed in itself and not just simply in reference to its necessity for some favourable moment. I am interested in this formulation of amor fati because it connects so beautifully to Bataille's concept of sovereignty.
