The figs fall from the trees, they are good and sweet; and in falling the red skins of them break. A north wind am I to ripe figs
Thus, like figs, do these doctrines fall for you, my friends: imbibe now their juice and their sweet substance! It is autumn all around, and clear sky, and afternoon
Lo, what fullness is around us! And out of the midst of superabundance, it is delightful to look out upon distant seas
Once did people say God, when they looked out upon distant seas; now, however, have I taught you to say, Superman
God is a conjecture: but I do not wish your conjecturing to reach beyond your creating will
Could ye CREATE a God?—Then, I pray you, be silent about all Gods! But ye could well create the Superman
Not perhaps ye yourselves, my brethren! But into fathers and forefathers of the Superman could ye transform yourselves: and let that be your best creating!—
God is a conjecture: but I should like your conjecturing restricted to the conceivable
Could ye CONCEIVE a God?—But let this mean Will to Truth unto you, that everything be transformed into the humanly conceivable, the humanly visible, the humanly sensible! Your own discernment shall ye follow out to the end!
And what ye have called the world shall but be created by you: your reason, your likeness, your will, your love, shall it itself become! And verily, for your bliss, ye discerning ones!
And how would ye endure life without that hope, ye discerning ones? Neither in the inconceivable could ye have been born, nor in the irrational
But that I may reveal my heart entirely unto you, my friends: IF there were gods, how could I endure it to be no God! THEREFORE there are no Gods
Yea, I have drawn the conclusion; now, however, doth it draw me.—
