The Antichrist, Section 7

From Which Stars Have We Fallen To Meet Each Other Here?

We Deceive Ourselves When Giving Respect To The Person For Whom We Have Surrendered Ourselves, When We Respectively Expect Them To Be As We Would Wish Them To Be.

The Philosopher Caught In The Nets Of Language.

When One Gives Up The Christian Faith, One Pulls The Right To Christian Morality Out From Under One's Feet. This Morality Is By No Means Self-evident. Christianity Is A System, A Whole View Of Things Thought Out Together. By Breaking One Main Concept Out Of It, The Faith In God, One Breaks The Whole. It Stands Or Falls With Faith In God.

We Are Doubly Willing To Jump Into The Water After Some One Who Has Fallen In, If There Are People Present Who Have Not The Courage To Do So.
