More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The author must keep his mouth shut when his work starts to speak.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong currents drag many stones and bushes along with them, strong intellects many dense and muddled minds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The so called unconscious inferences can be traced back to the all-preserving memory, which presents us with parallel experiences and hence already knows the consequences of an action. It is not anticipation of the effects rather, it is the feeling: identical causes, identical effects . . .
Friedrich Nietzsche
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I welcome all the signs indicating that a more manly and warlike age is commencing, which will, above all, bring heroism again into honour!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre,it will not suggest a disguise:--and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on--so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Jealous is every virtue of the others, and a dreadful thing is jealousy. Even virtues may succumb by jealousy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Contentment preserves one from catching cold. Has a woman who knew that she was well dressed ever caught a cold? No, not even when she had scarcely a rag on her back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We pay dearly for immortality: we die for it more than once during our lifetimes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not destroy, strengthens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher culture an individual attains, the less field there is left for mockery and scorn.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not want to be like the ropemakers: They drag out their threads and always walk backwards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Either one does not dream, or one does so interestingly. One should learn to spend one's waking life in the same way: not at all, or interestingly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If a man have a strong faith he can indulge in the luxury of skepticism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A few hours of mountain climbing make a blackguard and a saint two rather similar creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is only those who know how to feel that this is not good who devise improvements.
Friedrich Nietzsche
