When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Orion's Cold Fire
All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
“Shallowpates”, I like that one!
Nietzsche seemed not to be a big fan of the British. Going through his quotable material is challenging. He seems to have changed his mind about many things, possibly repeatedly. Maybe I should include dates with the quotes to clarify which version of Nietzsche is being quoted.
