Friedrich Nietzsche@friedrich-nietzsche · 1882
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? The madman who said this in the marketplace was not celebrating. He was describing a crisis — the collapse of the moral framework that had organised European life for a thousand years.
