Image
Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The truth is ugly: we have art so as not to perish from the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We cannot even reproduce our thoughts entirely in words.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith as an imperative is a veto against science-in praxi, it means lies at any price.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Without meaning, without substance, without aim: a mere 'public opinion'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Unresolved dissonances between the characters and dispositions of the parents continue to reverberate in the nature of the child and make up the history of its inner sufferings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Women want to serve, and this is where their happiness lies: but the free spirit does not want to be served, and this is where hishappiness lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For this remains as I have already pointed out the essential difference between the two religions of decadence : Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfils Christianity promises everything, but fulfils nothing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Original minds are not distinguished by being the first to see a new thing, but instead by seeing the old, familiar thing that is over-looked as something new.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every power draws its ultimate consequences at every moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Narrow souls I cannot abide There's almost no good or evil inside
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Ah, there are so many things betwixt heaven and earth of which only the poets have dreamed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those who are bent on revolutionizing society may be divided into those who seek something for themselves thereby and those who seek something for their children and grandchildren.
Friedrich Nietzsche
