Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
English (Source)
Christianity did its best to close the circle and even declared doubt a sin. Without reason, as if by the power of a miracle, we have to be led to believe and swim in it as if we were swimming in the purest, clearest, clearest element: if we were to search the land with our eyes, even the thought that maybe we should not only swim is the most subtle manifestation of our amphibious nature - already it would be a crime in itself! Let us note that in this way the justification of faith and all thinking about its origin are excluded, because this is a sinful thing. They want blindness, intoxication and eternal singing over the foams in which reason has drowned!
