More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in truth begins with doubting all that has hitherto been believed to be true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is no doubt possible to fly--but first you must know how to dance like an angel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Disobedience- that is the nobility of slaves.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
We would not let ourselves be burned to death for our opinions: we are not sure enough of them for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
There will be but few people who, when at a loss for topics of conversation, will not reveal the more secret affairs of their friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Respectability offends my taste.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The doer alone learneth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The consequences of our actions take hold of us, quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have 'improved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is always some madness in love.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where do your greatest dangers lie?--In pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A married philosopher is a comic character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
