Why, I myself am my cause, and I am neither good nor bad. Neither has meaning for me.\nThe divine is God's cause; the human, human's. My cause is neither the divine nor the human, not the true, good, just, free, etc., but solely what is mine, and it is not a general one, but is — unique, as I am unique.\nNothing is more to me than myself!",

"text": "Fort denn mit jeder Sache, die nicht ganz und gar Meine Sache ist! Ihr meint, Meine Sache müsse wenigstens die „gute Sache“ sein? Was gut, was böse! Ich bin ja selber Meine Sache, und Ich bin weder gut noch böse. Beides hat für Mich keinen Sinn.\nDas Göttliche ist Gottes Sache, das Menschliche Sache „des Menschen“. Meine Sache ist weder das Göttliche noch das Menschliche, ist nicht das Wahre, Gute, Rechte, Freie usw., sondern allein das Meinige, und sie ist keine allgemeine, sondern ist – einzig, wie Ich einzig bin.\nMir geht nichts über Mich!",
