It is this pernicious doctrine of ever relying upon extraneous help that leads to the collapse - physical, mental, moral,
and spiritual - of well-meaning, but weak and unbalanced minds.
It slays the patient of the mesmerizer and the mental healer, the neophyte of the sorcerer, and the dilettante of Reform.

Nietzsche was a 19th-century German philosopher and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion,
morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science.
Nietzsche challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality.
He believed in life, creativity, health, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those situated
in a world beyond. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism
and postmodernism.
