More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We should turn our death into a celebration, even if only out of a malice towards life: towards the woman who wants to leave--us!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The love of power is the demon of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not with wrath do we kill, but with laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man's task is simple. He should cease letting his existence be a thoughtless accident.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Reason is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
Friedrich Nietzsche
All idealism is falsehood in the face of necessity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus] did not require humans or their sort of knowledge, since everything into which one may inquire he despises [as being] in contrast [to his own] inward-turning wisdom. [To him] all learning from others is a sign of nonwisdom, because the wise man focuses his vision on his own intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I speak and the child plays: who can be more serious than we are?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, a hybrid of plant and ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man who possesses genius is insufferable unless he also possesses at least two other things: gratitude and cleanliness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The charm of the Platonic mode of thought ... consisted precisely in the resistance to the obvious evidence of the senses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bite of conscience is indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The noble man honours in himself the powerful one, him also who has power over himself, who knows how to speak and how to keep silence, who takes pleasure in subjecting himself to severity and hardness, and has reverence for all that is severe and hard.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The real world is much smaller than the imaginary
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer, than into the dreams of a lustful woman?
Friedrich Nietzsche
For all things are baptized at the font of eternity, and beyond good and evil good and evil themselves, however, are but intervening shadows and damp afflictions and passing clouds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If we have injured someone, giving him the opportunity to make a joke about us is often enough to provide him personal satisfaction, or even to win his good will.
Friedrich Nietzsche
