563

The delusion of a moral world-order.  There is absolutely no eternal necessity which decrees that every guilt will be atoned and paid for  that such a thing exists has been a dreadful and to only a minuscule extent useful delusion  : just as it is a delusion that everything is guilt which is felt as such. I t is not things, but opinions about things that have absolutely no existence, which have so deranged mankind!

Friedrich Nietzsche - Daybreak
Book V - Aphorism # 563
