More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is difficult to preach, this morality of mediocrity! It may never admit what it is and what it wants! It must speak about restraint and worth and duty and love of one's neighbor.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The ascetic makes a necessity of virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That lies should be necessary to life is part and parcel of the terrible and questionable character of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Among the wealthy, generosity is often merely a kind of shyness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No more fiction, for now we calculate but that we may calculate, we had to make fiction first.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I overcame myself, the sufferer I carried my own ashes to the mountains I invented a brighter flame for myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When art dresses itself in the most worn-out material it is most easily recognized as art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When the gratitude that many owe to one discards all modesty, then there is fame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The better the state is established, the fainter is humanity. To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realised joy could be.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God, the immortality of the soul, salvation, the beyond-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?
Friedrich Nietzsche
We seldom break our leg so long as life continues a toilsome upward climb. The danger comes when we begin to take things easily and choose the convenient paths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who meets with a failure attributes this failure rather to the ill will of another than to fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Close beside my knowledge lies my black ignorance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One has to know the size of one's stomach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who humbles himself wants to be exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption, but how near or distant that is, nobody knows- not even God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
