But it is even worse regarding the other feces we call sin: man still surely wants to retain this, and not excrete it. Now however, I must believe it: a person can be God and still excrete feces. Thus I teach you, excrete your feces and become gods.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Believe, Godly, Men

And he also possessed the finer intellect.

Friedrich Nietzsche
