"Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?"

This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche talks to the idea of vanity as well as approval. He is suggesting that if we love ourselves as we enjoy our god, after that we must not be evaluated for our actions. He acknowledges that there are transgressions versus his god, yet he also recognizes that no person understands his god, so no one can evaluate him. This quote motivates us to approve ourselves as well as to not be judged by others. It is a pointer that we need to not repent of that we are which we ought to love ourselves unconditionally. We must not be afraid to express our ideas and worths, also if they vary from those of others. We must take pride in that we are as well as not be afraid to stand up for ourselves. This quote is a suggestion that we should not be afraid to be ourselves and also to like ourselves.
