Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
In every ascetic morality man worships a part of himself as God and for that he needs to diabolize the other part.
Summary
This quote suggests that in ascetic moral systems, individuals often idolize a certain aspect of themselves as divine or perfect, while demonizing other aspects of their own nature as evil or sinful. It implies that such moralities create a dualistic perspective where individuals divide themselves into the divine and the diabolical, in order to uphold their chosen ideals. This can lead to inner conflicts and a denial of the inherent complexity and diversity within human nature.
