"I did this," says my memory. "I cannot have done this," says my pride, remaining inexorable. Eventually, my memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Aphorism 68.
hmmmmm.. what do you think about this quote? By saying this, Nietzsche is displaying a massive dose of the common grace that he dismissed as thoughtless myth. Pride fuels the false self. It will own the day unless confronted and defeated by grace. Pride melts in the shadow of the cross.
