Image
I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move. Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mothers easily become jealous of their sons' friends when they are particularly successful. As a rule a mother loves herself in her son more than she does the son himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When death brings at last the desired forgetfulness, it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge that being is merely a continual has been, a thing that lives by denying and destroying and contradicting itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.
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
