Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many people, especially women, never experience boredom because they have never learned to work properly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I despise mystics, they fancy themselves so deep, when they aren't even superficial.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is the highest task and the proper metaphysical activity of this life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Reason in language - oh, what an old deceptive female she is! I am afraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Moral sensibilities are nowadays at such cross-purposes that to one man a morality is proved by its utility, while to another its utility refutes it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man should not play the coward to his deeds. He should not repudiate them once he has performed them. Pangs of conscience are indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You want to make him interested in you? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence-
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strength required for the vision of the most powerful reality is not only compatible with the most powerful strength for action, for monstrous action, for crime - it even presupposes it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When asses are needed.- You will never get the crowd to cry Hosanna until you ride into town on an ass.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not be deceived: great spirits are skeptics ... Strength, FREEDOM which is born of the strength and overstrength of the spirit, proves itself by skepticism. Men of conviction are not worthy of the least consideration in fundamental questions of value and disvalue. Convictions are prisons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
