else. Intoxication of reason was likeness unto God, and doubt was sin.
Only too well I know those god-like ones: they wish to be believed in, and that doubt should be sin. Only too well I know, besides, what they themselves believe in most.
Verily, not in back-worlds and redeeming blood-drops: but even they believe most in body, and their own body for them is the thing in itself.
But a sickly thing it is for them: and fain they would leap out of their skin. Therefore they listen unto the preachers of death and themselves preach back-worlds.
Rather listen, my brethren, unto the voice of the body that hath been restored unto health: it is a more honest and a purer voice.
More honestly and purely the healthy body speaketh, the perfect and rectangular: it speaketh of the significance of earth."
Thus spake Zarathustra.
