It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right --especially when one is right.
Friedrich NietzscheIt is thus only this personal feeling of misery that we get rid of by acts of pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche. . . an absurd problem came to the surface: 'How COULD God permit that (crucifixion of Jesus Christ)!' . . . the deranged reason of the little community found quite a frightfully absurd answer: God gave his Son for forgiveness, as a SACRIFICE . . . The SACRIFICE FOR GUILT, and just in its most repugnant and barbarous form - the sacrifice of the innocent for the sins of the guilty! What horrifying heathenism!
