1795 Quotes

“what has it been for, except to confirm the value of their delusion, my opposition equal to their zeal? Reason was our golden calf. The truth is that every person stands alone and free to make his own choices the very moment he rejects the oppression of the learned. It is as easy as lifting a veil, but it is nevertheless a yoke gone from my shoulders. I have vainly sought to mediate my doubts between two conflicting doctrines. Never again. My choices need not be consistent in the eyes of others. I answer to no one. Only now do I understand. I am free, Jean Michael. Finally free. Free in mind and soul.”
― Niklas Natt och Dag, 1795: The Order of the Furies
