More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Have you noticed there are no interesting people in heaven? -Just a hint to the girls as to where they can find their salvation.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

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
There are no facts, only interpretations.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All things that are truly great are at first thought impossible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are men who desire power simply for the sake of the happiness it will bring these belong chiefly to political parties.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You must be born for your physician, otherwise you are bound to perish because of your physician.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is only those who know how to feel that this is not good who devise improvements.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
It is very noble hypocrisy not to talk of one's self.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man makes god in his own image.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We come to recognize that playfulness, as a philosophical stance, can be very serious indeed and moreover, that it possesses an unfailing capacity to arouse ridicule and hostility in those among us who crave certainty, reverence, and restraint.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
