More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Priests ... these turkey-cocks of God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Madness is the exception in individuals but the rule in groups.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The saying, The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored, is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.--A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we have to change our mind about a person, we hold the inconvenience he causes us very much against him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In short, then, the religious cult is based upon the representations of sorcery between man and man, and the sorcerer is older than the priest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is regrettable that a Dostoyevsky did not live near this most interesting of all decadents (Jesus Christ) - I mean someone who would have known how to sense the very stirring charm of such a mixture of the sublime, the sickly, and the childlike.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One hears - one does not seek one takes - one does not ask who gives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Horrible experiences lead us to wonder whether the person who experiences them might not be something horrible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who is not a bird should not build his nest over abysses.
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
Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine, like a precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All great men are play actors of their own ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever the State saith is a lie whatever it hath is a theft: all is counterfeit in it, the gnawing, sanguinary, insatiate monster.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Assuming that rapture is nature's play with man, the Dionysian artist's creative activity is the play with rapture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed. -In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
