Quote

And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

Image
If a man have a strong faith he can indulge in the luxury of skepticism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every true faith is infallible. It performs what the believing person hopes to find in it. But it does not offer the least support for the establishing of an objective truth. Here the ways of men divide. If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, have faith. If you want to be a disciple of truth, then search.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must separate from anything that forces one to repeat No again and again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One has to know the size of one's stomach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[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
Image
Lust and self-mutilation are closely related impulses. There are also self-mutilators among knowers: they do not want to be creators under any circumstances.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The most unendurable thing, to be sure, the really terrible thing, would be a life without habits, a life which continually required improvisation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What? A great man? I only ever see the ape of his own ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Instinct. When the house burns one forgets even lunch. Yes, but one eats it later in the ashes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is inhuman to bless where one is cursed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Just look at the faces of the great Christians! They are the faces of great haters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Life, and you, and I, and all of us together became for a while interesing to ourselves once more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
