More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is one of the stout-hearted old warriors: he is angry with civilization because he supposes that its aim is to make all goodthings--honors, treasures, beautiful women--accessible even to cowards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When anyone apologizes to us he has to do it very expertly: otherwise we might easily come to see ourselves as the guilty party and experience unpleasant feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love brings to light the lofty and hidden characteristics of the lover--what is rare and exceptional in him: to that extent it caneasily be deceptive with respect to what is normal in him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Unpleasant, even dangerous, qualities can be found in every nation and every individual: it is cruel to demand that the Jew be an exception. In him, these qualities may even be dangerous and revolting to an unusual degree and perhaps the young stock-exchange Jew is altogether the most disgusting invention of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The degree and kind of a man's sexuality reach up into the ultimate pinnacle of his spirit.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If one seeks relief from unbearable pressure, one is to eat hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Improvements are invented only by those who can feel that something is not good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Denn was ist Freiheit? Dasz man den Willen zur Selbstverantwortlichkeit hat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The individual has always to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Socrates ... is the first philosopher of life [Lebensphilosoph], ... Thinking serves life, while among all previous philosophers life had served thought and knowledge. ... Thus Socratic philosophy is absolutely practical: it is hostile to all knowledge unconnected to ethical implications.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing--that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I want to teach men the sense of their existence, which is the Superman, the lightning out of the dark cloud man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaking is a beautiful folly with that man dances over all things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is difficult to preach, this morality of mediocrity! It may never admit what it is and what it wants! It must speak about restraint and worth and duty and love of one's neighbor.
Friedrich Nietzsche
