More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is the highest task and the proper metaphysical activity of this life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you look long enough into the void, the void begins to look back through you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The arrogance that accompanies merit offends us even more than the arrogance of people who are lacking in merit: since merit itself offends us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As an artist one has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sapand seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it--and tries to live off philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
Friedrich Nietzsche
No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who is of a free spirit and a free heart: thus is his head only the bowels of his heart his heart, however, causeth his down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Prejudice of the learned. - The learned judge correctly that people of all ages have believed they know what is good and evil, praise- and blameworthy. But it is a prejudice of the learned that we now know better than any other age.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Alas! There cometh the time when man will no longer give birth to any star. Alas! There cometh the time of the most despicable man, who can no longer despise himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He that writeth in blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but learnt by heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You want to make him interested in you? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence-
Friedrich Nietzsche
Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god but who knows my god?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Scholars who become politicians are usually assigned the comic role of having to be the good conscience of state policy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
