More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not destroy, strengthens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate you most because you attract, but are not strong enough to pull me to you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space - how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image!
Friedrich Nietzsche
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little health now and again is the ailing person's best remedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The advocates of a criminal are seldom artists enough to turn the beautiful terribleness of the deed to the advantage of the doer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Success has always been a great liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Like the creatures of the forest and the sea, I love To lose myself for a while.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those that achieve anything that looks beyond the vision and thinking of their peers provoke jealousy and hatred disguised as the ordinary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
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
What is the strongest cure?--Victory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One lives for the day, one lives very fast, one lives very irresponsibly: precisely this is called freedom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
