More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word and the third, a good deed.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
As a result, nature is something entirely different from what comes to mind when we invoke its name.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great man fights the elements in his time that hinder his own greatness, in other words his own freedom and sincerity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who possesseth little is so much the less possessed. Blessed be moderate poverty!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
And many such good inventions are there, that they are like woman's breasts: useful at the same time, and pleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
That is an artist as I would have an artist be, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art--panemet Circen.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great poet draws his creations only from out of his own reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour, and who then asketh: Am I a dishonest player? - for he is willing to succumb.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have forgotten my umbrella.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are incapable of any conception of greatness: proof Schumann.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
