The good⁠—they have always been the beginning of the end.⁠—

O my brethren, have ye also understood this word? And what I once said of the “last man”?⁠⸺

With whom lieth the greatest danger to the whole human future? Is it not with the good and just?

Break up, break up, I pray you, the good and just! ⁠—O my brethren, have ye understood also this word?

Ye flee from me? Ye are frightened? Ye tremble at this word?

O my brethren, when I enjoined you to break up the good, and the tables of the good, then only did I embark man on his high seas.

And now only cometh unto him the great terror, the great outlook, the great sickness, the great nausea, the great seasickness.
