More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate you most because you attract, but are not strong enough to pull me to you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence he observes closely, and he enjoys his observation: for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The misunderstanding of passion and reason, as if the latter were an independent entity and not rather a system of relations between various passions and desires and as if every passion did not possess its quantum of reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Original minds are not distinguished by being the first to see a new thing, but instead by seeing the old, familiar thing that is over-looked as something new.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings: what is closest appears large and weighty, and as one moves farther away size and weight decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To one who is accustomed to thinking a lot, every new thought that he hears or reads about immediately appears as a link in a chain.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are more pained when one of our friends is guilty of something shameful than when we do it ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We feign pity when we want to demonstrate our ascendancy over feelings of hostility: but usually in vain. Whenever we notice this,there is an accompanying surge in those hostile sensations.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Liberal institutions straightway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: Once this is attained, no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Then is what you see through this window onto the world so lovely that you have no desire whatsoever to look out through any other window, and that you even make an attempt to prevent others from doing so?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As a result, nature is something entirely different from what comes to mind when we invoke its name.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lust and self-mutilation are closely related impulses. There are also self-mutilators among knowers: they do not want to be creators under any circumstances.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Someone who does not write books, who thinks a lot, and who lives in unsatisfying society will usually be a good letter- writer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Metaphysical world.- It is true, there could be a metaphysical world the absolute possibility of it is hardly to be disputed. We behold all things through the human head and cannot cut off this head while the question nonetheless remains what of the world would still be there if one had cut it off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every profound spirit needs a mask.
Friedrich Nietzsche
