More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
Zarathustra was the first to consider the fight of good and evil the very wheel in the machinery of things: the transposition of morality into the metaphysical realm, as a force, cause, and end in itself, is his work. [...] Zarathustra created this most calamitous error, morality consequently, he must also be the first to recognize it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith means the will to avoid knowing what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes it is harder to accede to a thing than it is to see its truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.Courageous, untroubled, mocking and violent-that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The so called unconscious inferences can be traced back to the all-preserving memory, which presents us with parallel experiences and hence already knows the consequences of an action. It is not anticipation of the effects rather, it is the feeling: identical causes, identical effects . . .
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A man unconsciously imagines that where he is strong, where he feels most thoroughly alive, the element of his freedom must lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
On the heights it is warmer than people in the valley suppose, especially in winter. The thinker recognizes the full import of this simile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I know no other way to associate with great tasks than as play: as a sign of greatness, this is an essential presupposition.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us courageous toward the enemy generous toward the vanquished polite-always that is how the four cardinal virtues want us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
New ways I go, a new speech comes to me weary I grow, like all creators, of the old tongues. My spirit no longer wants to walk on worn soles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required--acting as though we do not see through the motivesof their actions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
