More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is more ape than many of the apes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most unequivocal sign of contempt for man is to regard everybody merely as a means to one's own ends, or of no account whatever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mastery has been achieved when one neither makes a mistake nor hesitates in the performance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to be one of the mass only needs to cease to be easy on himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who reserveth no share of spirit for himself, but wanteth to be wholly the spirit of his virtue: thus walketh he as spirit over the bridge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Science rushes headlong, without selectivity, without taste, at whatever is knowable, in the blind desire to know all at any cost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only idiots fail to contradict themselves three times a day.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are incapable of any conception of greatness: proof Schumann.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every day I count wasted in which there has been no dancing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You are treading the path to your greatness: no one shall follow you here! Your passage has effaced the path behind you, and above that path stands written: Impossibility.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Surrounded by the flames of jealousy, the jealous one winds up, like the scorpion, turning the poisoned sting against himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love and hatred are not blind, but are blinded by the fire they bear within themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O, what nowadays does science not conceal! How much, at least, it is meant to conceal!
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I could only believe in a God who could dance... And now a God dances through me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
