More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Against boredom even gods struggle in vain.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have never come across someone who could inspire more respect than the Greek philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How poisonous, how crafty, how bad, does every long war make one, which cannot be waged openly by means of force!
Friedrich Nietzsche
For our self respect depends upon our ability to make requital, for good or for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Surrounded by the flames of jealousy, the jealous one winds up, like the scorpion, turning the poisoned sting against himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only ideas won by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pathetic attitudes are not in keeping with greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I see many soldiers could I but see many warriors! Uniform one calleth what they wear may it not be uniform what they therewith hide!
Friedrich Nietzsche
In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required--acting as though we do not see through the motivesof their actions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Bad cooks - and the utter lack of reason in the kitchen - have delayed human development longest and impaired it most.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our greatest experiences are our quietest moments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people--but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The craving for equality can express itself either as a desire to pull everyone down to our own level (by belittling them, excluding them, tripping them up) or as a desire to raise ourselves up along with everyone else (by acknowledging them, helping them, and rejoicing in their success).
Friedrich Nietzsche
