More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare? ... that became for me more and more the real measure of value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lie is a condition of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong currents drag many stones and bushes along with them, strong intellects many dense and muddled minds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a seriously intended intellectual emancipation a person's mute passions and cravings also hope to find their advantage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.
Friedrich Nietzsche
They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their food so that their mouths learn how to eat fire!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can lie with the mouth, but with the accompanying grimace one nevertheless tells the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. God is such an obvious and crass solution a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom He is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is lavish, who wanteth no thanks and doth not give back: for he always bestoweth, and desireth not to keep for himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am the leading strings of the ego and the prompter of its concepts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A vocation is the backbone of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is inhuman to bless where one is cursed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The weak and misbegotten shall perish: first principle of our brotherly love. And they shall be given every assistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
