More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I am the leading strings of the ego and the prompter of its concepts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is more sensitive to the contempt of others than to self-contempt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What the philosopher is seeking is not truth, but rather the metamorphosis of the world into man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bite of conscience, like the bite of a dog into a stone, is a stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
as though the Truth were such an innocent and incompetent creature as to require protectors!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Tragedy is dead! Poetry itself died with it! Away, away with you, puny, stunted imitators! Away with you to Hades, and eat your fill of the old masters' crumbs!
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is life? A continuous praise and blame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Greeks, with their truly healthy culture, have once and for all justified philosophy simply by having engaged in it, and having engaged in it more fully than any other people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In affability there is no hatred of men, but for that very reason there is all too much contempt for men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From passions grow opinions intellectual laziness lets these harden into convictions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The command 'become hard! ', the deep conviction that all creators are hard, is the really distinctive sign of a Dionysian nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Precisely the least, the softest, lightest, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a flash, a moment - a little makes the way of the best happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus had] the highest form of pride [stemming] from a certainty of belief in the truth as grasped by himself alone. He brings this form, by its excessive development, into a sublime pathos by involuntary identification of himself with his truth.
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
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
