More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
But this people has deliberately made itself stupid, for nearly a millennium: nowhere have the two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity, been abused more dissolutely.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the difference between someone who is convinced and one who is deceived? None, if he is well deceived.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything about woman is a riddle, and everything about woman has a single solution: that is, pregnancy
Friedrich Nietzsche
The misunderstanding of passion and reason, as if the latter were an independent entity and not rather a system of relations between various passions and desires and as if every passion did not possess its quantum of reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a peacock hides his peacock tail from all eyes--and calls it his pride.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The job of rearing a child consists of making conscious activities unconscious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The truthful man ends up realizing that he always lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A few hours of mountain climbing make a blackguard and a saint two rather similar creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Only idiots fail to contradict themselves three times a day.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The ability to suffer is a small matter - weak women and even slaves can acheive virtuosity in that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whereas the man of action binds his life to reason and its concepts so that he will not be swept away and lost, the scientific investigator builds his hut right next to the tower of science so that he will be able to work on it and to find shelter for himself beneath those bulwarks which presently exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith as an imperative is a veto against science-in praxi, it means lies at any price.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The shortest route is not the most direct one, but rather the one where the most favorable winds swell our sails:Mthat is the lesson that seafarers teach. Not to abide by this lesson is to be obstinate: here, firmness of character is tainted with stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What I understand by philosopher: a terrible explosive in the presence of which everything is in danger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For as long as they praise you, never forget that it is not yet your own path that you walk, but another person's.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who liveth in order to know, and seeketh to know in order that the Superman may hereafter live. Thus seeketh he his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions they cease to be mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
