Image
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The man who meets with a failure attributes this failure rather to the ill will of another than to fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Are you visiting women? Do not forget your whip
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many it is almost a vice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We must repay goodness and wickedness: but why exactly to the person who has done us a good or a wicked turn?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What verse is for the poet, dialectical thinking is for the philosopher. He grasps for it in order to get hold of his own enchantment, in order to perpetuate it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Many find their heart when they have lost their head.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is the strongest cure?--Victory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The moral earth, too, is round! The moral earth, too, has its antipodes! The antipodes, too, have their right to exist! There is still another world to be discovered--and more than one! Set sail, you philosophers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One has to know the size of one's stomach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
An attack on the roots of passion means an attack on the roots of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
So live your life of obedience and of war! What matter about long life! What warrior wisheth to be spared!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus] did not require humans or their sort of knowledge, since everything into which one may inquire he despises [as being] in contrast [to his own] inward-turning wisdom. [To him] all learning from others is a sign of nonwisdom, because the wise man focuses his vision on his own intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
