Suffering and taking sin upon himself might have been right for that preacher of small people. But I rejoice in great sin as my great solace.

All good things were at one time bad things; every original sin has developed into an original virtue.

Christianity makes suffering contagious

Once the sin against God was the greatest sin; but God died, and these sinners died with him.

It was suffering and incapacity that created all afterworlds - this, and that brief madness of bliss which is experienced only by those who suffer deeply.
Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.

What makes one heroic? -- Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
