- There is no error more dangerous than CONFUSING THE EFFECT WITH THE CAUSE: I call it the genuine corruption of reason. Nevertheless, this error is one of humanity's oldest and most contemporary customs: It has even been made sacred among us, it bears the name of 'religion' and 'morality.' EVERY statement formulated by religion and morality contains it; priests and moral lawgivers are the ones who originated this corruption of reason.
- Nietzsche, plagiarising Spinoza (Ethics, Part I-appendix).
