About This Quote

In the poem “The Path to Salvation” by German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, he writes that “it is only when we are no longer in control--because of sickness, death, or our own bad choices--that we no longer cling.” The idea of a path to salvation is a journey of humility and acceptance. We must accept that we cannot do it alone and we must humble ourselves in service to others. Only then can we experience salvation.
