More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Learn to see - accustoming the eye to calm, to patience, to letting-things-come-to-it learning to defer judgment, to encircle and encompass the question on all sides.
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
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
Life is a well of joy but for those out of whom an upset stomach speaks, which is the father of melancholy, all wells are poisoned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The gilded sheath of pity sometimes covers the dagger of envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not like them, the merciful who feel blessed in their pity: they are lacking too much in shame. If I must pity, at least I do not want it known and if I do pity, it is preferably from a distance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Go through the towns and ask yourselves whether these people should reproduce! Let them go to their whores!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Away from God and gods did this will lure me: what would there be to create if gods existed?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?
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
What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The ability to suffer is a small matter - weak women and even slaves can acheive virtuosity in that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must never have spared oneself, one must have acquired hardness as a habit to be cheerful and in good spirits in the midst of nothing but hard truths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
