Pride

"I did that", says my memory. "I could not have done that", says my pride, and remains inexorable. Eventually - the memory yields.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

It seems to me that everyone, be that christian or atheist, believer or unbeliever, as long as we are dealing with human beings, falls prey to this truth that Nietzsche, to whom some people regarded as crazy, tells us.

Blessed are the crazy, because they'll see what others cannot, and they'll say what they see despite the attacks of the blind.
