Context

“Have not all railings and gangways fallen into the water? Who would still HOLD ON to «good» and «evil»?
«Woe to us! Hail to us! The thawing wind bloweth!» —Thus preach, my brethren, through all the streets!
9.
There is an old illusion—it is called good and evil. Around soothsayers and astrologers hath hitherto revolved the orbit of this illusion.
Once did one BELIEVE in soothsayers and astrologers; and THEREFORE did one believe, «Everything is fate: thou shalt, for thou must!»” source
